• NCDs and their risk factors start in
higher socioeconomic status (SES)
and in urban areas
• Those of higher SES respond to
prevention campaigns first
8. Noncommunicable Diseases, Risk Factors and Health Inequalities8 |
• Those of lower SES continue to
experience increasing NCDs
• The double burden of disease
(noncommunicable and
communicable) will further
deplete scarce resources
• Those of lower SES are at risk of
receiving inadequate care

How to Respond
Enhance and improve early childhood development
programs and education for all social groups
Remove barriers to secure employment
Tax tobacco and alcohol, regulate their production and
sales, and restrict advertising and marketing
Reduce dietary salt intake by regulation, education, and
mass media campaigns for the marginalized
Adapted from: Di Cesare (2013) Inequalities in non-communicable diseases
and effective responses. The Lancet.
17. Noncommunicable Diseases, Risk Factors and Health Inequalities17 |
How to Respond
Improve financial and physical access to healthier diets
(fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, whole grains, etc.)
Implement universal, financially and physically accessible,
high-quality primary care to reduce risk factors; enhance
early detection and treatment of NCDs
Remove financial barriers to health care, reduce physical
and behavioural barriers to health care use, and improve
the quality of care especially in disadvantaged
communities

Division of Noncommunicable Diseases and Health through the Lifecourse
Editor's Notes
Our goal is to keep as many individuals as possible in the pink box of a healthy population. We seek to minimize the number who become at risk, who then become sick, and who are ultimately hospitalized.
Maternal exposure to air pollution, including particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, ozone, and tobacco smoke, are associated with low birth weight, congenital defects and fetal and neonatal deaths (1). Maternal air pollution exposure is also linked to child health effects including decreased lung growth, increased rates of respiratory tract infections, asthma, behavioral problems, and developmental (neurocognitive) impairments (1,2,3,4). Low birth weigh in turn is linked to obesity in teen years and adulthood (7,8). Many studies have also found low birth weight to be a risk factor for adult cardiovascular disease, hypertension and Type II diabetes. (5,6,7,8,9). And as noted previously, these diseases in midlife (especially diabetes) are associated with increased risk for the development of Alzheimer’s disease/dementia in later life.

Mortality Trends of Communicable Diseases, Malignant Neoplasms, and Diseases of the Heart, per 100,000 Population, 1954-2008
Prevalence of risk factors by SES measures
Smoking was more common among those with only primary education than those with secondary and tertiary education, for both men and women.
Smoking was also more common among those in the lowest income group.
A higher proportion of men and women with only primary education reported eating less than the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables than those with secondary or at least tertiary education.
Respondents in the second highest income group reported the highest proportion not meeting the recommended daily fruit and vegetable consumption.
The prevalence of obesity and central obesity increased with increasing income, especially among women.
Prevalence of risk factors by SES measures
Elevated blood pressure and cholesterol was more common among women with only primary education than those with tertiary education.
For men, elevated cholesterol and fasting blood sugar were more common among those with tertiary education.
The prevalence of hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes was also higher among those in the highest income group than those in the lowest income group.
Work-related physical activity was more prevalent among women with tertiary education, while for men it was higher among those with primary education.
Highly active commuting was most prevalent among the lowest income group, for both men and women.
The prevalence of high leisure time physical activity (LTPA) was higher among those in the highest income group.
Association between risk factors and SES measures (adjusted analyses)
Those with secondary and tertiary education were less likely to smoke than those with only primary education.
Those with higher incomes (e.g. PhP >= 173,388 for men) were less likely to smoke.
Men with secondary and tertiary education were less likely to consume less than five servings of fruit and vegetables per day.
Men with secondary and tertiary education were more than twice as likely to become centrally obese than those with only primary education.
Women with higher incomes were significantly more likely to become centrally obese than those in the lowest income quartile.
Association between risk factors and SES measures (adjusted analyses)
A significant association between high blood pressure and increasing income was noted for men.
Men with tertiary education were twice as likely to be at increased risk of having high cholesterol than those with only primary education.
Positive associations were also observed between elevated cholesterol and income levels for women.
Men in the highest income group had significantly increased odds of having diabetes compared with those in the lowest income group.
Association between risk factors and SES measures (adjusted analyses)
Women in the highest income group were more likely to engage in high levels of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) than those in the lowest income group.
In summary, this slide shows the global vision for development that includes work on NCDs. The bottom row lists the global policy documents, including the recent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They all rely on the four components of national NCD responses, which will include efforts from healthy cities.
