Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium

Editat de Nick Banatvala, Pascal Bovet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 ian 2023
Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium introduces readers to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – what they are, their burden, their determinants and how they can be prevented and controlled.
Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world’s biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all countries, as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will, sufficient resources, and sustained and broad partnerships. This compendium consists of 59 short and accessible chapters in six sections: (i) describing and measuring the burden and impact of NCDs; (ii) the burden, epidemiology and priority interventions for individual NCDs; (iii) social determinants and risk factors for NCDs and priority interventions; (iv) global policy; (v) cross-cutting issues; and (vi) stakeholder action.
Drawing on the expertise of a large and diverse team of internationally renowned policy and academic experts, the book describes the key epidemiologic features of NCDs and evidence-based interventions in a concise manner that will be useful for policymakers across all parts of society, as well as for public health and clinical practitioners.

Recenzii

‘Placing NCDs permanently on the global development agenda is critical to improving people’s lives, opportunities, and future prospects, and advancing sustainable human development. The Compendium’s accessible style means that it will be a first port of call for health and development professionals, including ministers and parliamentarians, across low-, middle- and high-income settings.’
Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Former Administrator, United Nations Development Programme
‘Confronting the rising tide of NCDs requires the collective efforts of political, community and business leaders, as well as health and other professionals. This comprehensive compendium describing priority interventions, written by international eminent experts, is an excellent guide for all those leading the fight against NCDs.’
Danny Faure, Former President of Seychelles
‘NCDs are the greatest challenge facing global health—not only because they are a growing cause of multimorbidity among ageing populations, but also because their successful control touches on some of the most fundamental questions about the organisation of our societies. The role of the state. The meaning of freedom. And the personal responsibility we owe to each other for protecting our health and wellbeing. This compendium provides the definitive starting point for a debate that will define the 21st century.’
Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief, The Lancet
‘This Compendium with concise and action-oriented chapters covers all the key issues around NCDs, and is an essential resource for all those working to improve health at global, national and local levels. Building on the well-established WHO-Lausanne NCD seminars, this practical book deserves a place on the desk of all those working to strengthen policy, programming, patient care, and advocacy.’
Lanka Jayasuriya-Dissanayake, Chairperson, Indira Cancer Trust; previously National Professional Officer (NCDs), WHO Sri Lanka; former WHO-Lausanne seminar participant
