Non-communicable or

chronic diseases
-are diseases of long duration and generally
slow progression. The four main types of non-
communicable diseases are cardiovascular
diseases (like heart attacks and stroke),
cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and
asthma) and diabetes.
 Itis a disease of the
heart and blood vessels.
 This is the leading cause
of mortality in the
Philippines.

 Occurs when the heart
muscles tissues dies
from lack of oxygen
because of reduced
blood flow.
•Hypertension or
High Blood Pressure
 Occurswhen blood pressure is
higher than normal. Blood
pressure is the force of the
blood on the inside walls of the
blood vessels.
Systolic Diastolic

also known as
“cerebrovascular accident”.
Occurs when a clot blocks a
small blood vessel in the
brain.
A group of disease
where in the cells
divide in an
uncontrolled phase.
 Benign Tumors-
not cancerous
 May grow larger
but do not
spread to other
parts of the
body .
MALIGNANT
 Masses of cells that are
cancerous. They may
spread to other parts of
the body.
What is the
difference between benign
and
malignant tumors?
 They can often be removed, and, in
most cases, they do not come back.
Cells in benign tumors do not spread
to other parts of the body. Malignant
tumors are cancerous and are made up
of cells that grow out of control. Cells in
these tumors can invade nearby tissues
and spread to other parts of the body.
 FOURCATEGORIES
OF CANCER

cancer.
 Breast, uterus, prostate,
lung, stomach, colon and

 WAYS TO TREAT
CANCER
 Radiation
therapy-
uses high energy
radiation to kill
damage or cancer
cells.

 Type 1 Diabetes
 “Insulin dependent
diabetes”
 Increased thirst, frequent

urination, continuous
hunger, weight loss,
blurred vision tiredness.
 Type 2 Diabetes
 “Non-Insulin
Dependent”
A chronic
condition in which
breathing
becomes difficult.
