NCDs
Cardiovascular, cancers, chronic respiratory, diabetes.
What are the four categories for classification of NCDs?
This measure combines the years of life lost due to premature death and years lived with disability.
What is DALY (Disability-Adjusted Life Year)?
Socioeconomic status, education, and access to healthcare are examples of this category of factors influencing disease risk.
What is socioeconomic context?
One of the six key elements of the Chronic Care Model; it involves creating a system that supports high-quality care for patients.
What is healthcare organization / delivery system design?
This level of prevention aims to prevent the onset of disease by promoting healthy behaviors and reducing risk factors.
What is primary prevention?
NCD mortality rates.
What are high mortality rates?
The number of deaths from a disease in a population during a certain period, often expressed per 1,000 or 100,000 people.
What is mortality rate?
Lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
What are behavioral risks?
This component emphasizes patients being informed, activated, and able to manage their own health.
What is self-management support?
Rehabilitation programs, chronic disease self-management programs, and support groups are examples of interventions at this prevention level.
What is tertiary prevention?
NCD duration of illness.
What is a long duration of illness?
This type of burden accounts for both direct medical costs and indirect costs, such as lost productivity.
What is economic burden of disease?
Family history of disease, mutations causing diseases, predispositions to diseases.
What are risk factors related to a person’s genetics?
In the Chronic Care Model, this element involves using evidence-based guidelines and reminders to improve care quality.
What is decision support?
Educating the public about healthy diet, exercise, and smoking cessation mainly falls under this level of prevention.
What is primary prevention?
Lacking direct of indirect means.
What is the mode of transmission for NCDs?
Geography, socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and public health infrastructure.
What are factors disproportionately affecting different populations?
Exposure to viruses, bacteria, or chemicals that increase disease likelihood.
What is an environmental risk factor?
This element focuses on tracking patient outcomes and using data to improve care across populations.
What is clinical information systems / registry use?
Screening programs and early detection methods, like mammograms or blood pressure checks, are part of this prevention level.
What is secondary prevention?
Requires ongoing medical attention and restricts daily activities.
What are characteristics of a chronic disease?
A worldwide study that quantifies health loss from diseases, injuries, and risk factors to assess population health is called this.
What is the Global Burden of Disease?
Used to gather basic information about the family, relationships within the family, and health and illness patterns.
What is a genogram?
To provide a structured and comprehensive approach to promote proactive, coordinated, and patient-centered care.
What is the purpose of the Chronic Care Model?
This prevention level focuses on reducing complications and helping people manage chronic diseases to maintain quality of life.
What is tertiary prevention?
