Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are non-infectious medical conditions that are chronic and last for long periods of time, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. While some NCDs progress slowly, others can result in rapid death like autoimmune diseases and stroke. Risk factors for NCDs include behaviors and environments that increase the chances of developing these chronic conditions.
