Environmental factors that reduce physical activity and promote overeating
Non-communicable diseases (NCD`s) Globally: leading killer today with enormous challenge in the future Eastern Mediterranean Region : > 50% of annual deaths ( 2005) > 60% of disease burden Plan of action for the prevention and control of NCD`s in the Eastern Mediterranean Region 2011 WHO
What are the major Non-Communicable diseases? Tobacco use Unhealthy diets Physical inactivity Harmful use of alcohol Heart disease and stroke Diabetes Cancer Chronic lung disease
The NCD`s Epidemic Ageing Urbanization Globalization
Proportion of global NCD deaths under the age of 70, by cause of death, 2008 WHO 4% 30% 27% 39%
Non communicable Diseases

Still water run deep
Conclusions Ageing, Urbanization & Globalization, accelerate toward reduced fitness levels and rising obesity rates NCDs are a real danger to public health and economic development in present and in the future The situation is likely to be worsen with more serious economic consequences especially in the LMIC
.. NCDs are the leading cause of death among adult population in the Palestinian society. Diabetes, cancers, and CVD including hypertension and stroke contribute to more than 50% of causes of death among adults
