Noncommunicable diseases cause not only morbidity and mortality but also significantly impact economies because they limit the ability of people to work, a WHO report said.

New Delhi: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) contribute to 66% of all deaths occurring in India, a World Health Organisation (WHO) report has found.

NCDs, as the name suggests, are diseases that are not passed from one person to another and are mostly lifestyle-related. The major NCDs are cardiovascular diseases (heart diseases), cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases. In absolute numbers, 60.1 lakh deaths – most of which were preventable – in India occurred due to NCDs.

Apart from being deadly on their own, NCDs can act as “comorbidities” which increase the chances of the person developing severe disease if infected by the novel coronavirus – or any other infectious diseases.

The WHO report, titled ‘Invisible numbers‘, takes stock of NCD prevalence in 194 countries. It was released on Wednesday, September 21, and also revealed that the probability of premature mortality due to NCDs in India is about 22%. In other words, 22% of all people in India who are 30 years or older would die due to NCDs before their 70th birthday. The global probability is 18%.
