Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are also termed chronic diseases. Diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory illnesses (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and cardiovascular diseases (such as heart disease and stroke) are widely regarded as the four primary diseases that predominate in NCD mortality and morbidity.
Common risk factors bind these disease categories together:
Lack of physical activity Non-modifiable risk variables include age, sex, and genetic makeup. These are traits that neither an individual nor their environment can alter. Their influence and partial determination of the efficacy of several preventive and therapeutic measures make them significant variables, even if they cannot be the major objectives of treatments.
Characteristics that communities or individuals may alter to enhance health outcomes are referred to as modifiable risk factors. For NCDs, the WHO usually lists four primary ones: unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol use.
Physiotherapists specialize in human movement, physical activity, and promoting health, fitness, and wellness. They determine whether physical limits, disabilities, and impairments keep individuals from living as actively and independently as they could and then work to overcome them. Millions of individuals are helped annually by the field of physiotherapy to avoid non-communicable illnesses and the risk factors associated with them, chief among them being obesity. Through targeted rehabilitation methods, they also manage the effects of NCDs to optimize health when they are present.
The World Health Organization points out that physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for global mortality, causing 3.2 million deaths annually, and that physical activity can reduce non-communicable diseases. It is clear that the physiotherapy profession has a major role to play.
We believe movement is medicine.
