Noncommunicable diseases have become the leading cause of death globally, according to the WHO. But a new poll found that substantial percentages of people still may not consider the five biggest NCDs to be “very harmful.”
... [+]So why is there this disconnect between the reality and perception of NCDs? Have NCDs simply hired a really good publicist? Well, NCDs are kind of tricky. They don’t brandish knives or ray guns or say really threatening things on Twitter. They aren’t like a gigantic telepathic starfish destroying a city as Starro the Conqueror did in the movie. Instead, NCDs can be much more silent killers at least at the beginning.
There can also be the incorrect perception that NCDs are a natural part of getting older rather than things that are preventable. Studies have shown how many types of cancers, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and lung disease are eminently preventable. And even if you can’t prevent the diagnoses of these five major NCDs, you can prevent or at least slow the progression of them.
