noncommunicable disease
answer
is a disease that is not passed from one person to the next to direct or indirect means and is not associated with an infectious agent broader term chronic disease
question
chronic disease
answer
refers to either communicable diseases such as AIDS or noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes and have them on duration and usually slow progression, required medical attention overtime, and or limit the ability to perform activities of daily living
question
the majority of noncommunicable chronic diseases cannot be prevented or cured to vaccination or medication
answer
rather they require long-term and achievement globally there is an increase in noncommunicable diseases with cardiovascular disease diabetes cancers and chronic respiratory diseases the chief causes of death globally
question
healthcare providers including nurses typically care for those with noncommunicable diseases on an individual basis
answer
often during the acute phase of the disease or at the end stages of the disease
question
the chronic care model
answer
requires healthcare providers to retain the care provided from the treatment of acute phase of the noncommunicable disease within the acute care setting to long-term management in the community
question
care of an existing noncommunicable disease should be provided with any secondary and tertiary prevention framework that focuses on early detection and treatment and a long-term plan of care and reducing morbidity and mortality
answer
true
question
noncommunicable diseases at significantly to the overall burden of disease for a population
answer
true
question
burden of disease
answer
is defined by the WHO as the overall impact of diseases and injuries at the individual level, at the societal level, or at the economic cost of the disease
question
why is it important to know about the burden of disease associated with the specific disease
answer
it takes into account what impact the disease has on the population are community as a whole estimating the burden of a particular diseasecan help a community to prioritize health promotion and prevention efforts by targeting those diseases that account for the greatest burden in the community
question
determining the burden of disease takes into account
answer
not only the cost of treatment but also the social and economic impacts analysis of the burden of a particular disease allows for the assessment of the comparative importance of the disease injury or risk factor
question
life expectancy
answer
is defined as the number of years a person could be expected to live based on the current mortality rates in a specific setting usually a country
question
true or false there is great variability across countries and life expectancy
answer
true especially tween developed and developing countries the estimated life expectancy in the US for 2014 was 79.6 years
question
life expectancy is a valuable tool but it fails to capture the burden of ill health caused by noncommunicable diseases true or false
answer
true
question
health adjusted life expectancy HALE
answer
reflects the average number of years that a person can expect to live in good health by adjusting for disease and/or injury
question
the World Health Organization uses a four stage strategy to compute HALEdeath registration data
answer
this allows the who to estimate Hale for countries across the globe epidemiologists compute the hill for a chronic disease using data related to age the number of survivors and a number of years left
question
premature death noncommunicable diseases often lead to premature death
answer
true
question
premature death
answer
a death that occurs earlier than the standard life except for those who die prior to reaching the age they would be expected to live there death is defined as premature
question
years of potential life lost YPLL
answer
is calculated by subtracting the age at which a person dies from the life expectancy from a population perspective premature death is calculated based on the number of potential life-years lost prior to the life expectancy of the population per 100,000 persons
question
YPLL does not adequately capture the full burden of disease Y
answer
in addition to premature death most noncommunicable diseases lead to disability that can affect an individual's quality of life in productivity a method for quantifying the burden of disease that takes into account both premature death and disability is called disability adjusted life year
question
disability adjusted life year DALY
answer
is defined as a measurement of the gap that exists between the ideal health status of the disease and the disability free population that lives to an advanced age is calculated by using the population level data
question
DALY
answer
years of life lost + years of life disabled
question
formula for years of life lost YLL
answer
YLL= number of deaths x standard life expectancy at age of death in years
question
formula for years of life disabled YLD
answer
YLD = number of incident cases x disability weight x average duration of the case until remission or death in years
question
disability weight
answer
to account for the variability of the severity of the disease, anyway factor is included that reflects the severity of the disease on a scale from zero perfect health to one dead

healthy 2020 nutrition and weight status call
answer
reduce the proportion of children and adolescents were considered obese
question
in addition to nutrition and exercise tobacco use is a major behavioral perspective chronic disease
answer
use of tobacco is strongly associated with increased risk of adverse health outcomes including cancer pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease

injuries breast cancer hypertension stroke liver disease and brain damage alcohol use is associated with over 200 diseases and injuries
question
human genomics
answer
is the study of genetic structure or genome of a living human through genomics evidence clearly demonstrates that there is a genetic role in major noncommunicable diseases including cancer diabetes heart disease and asthma genetic risk predisposes a person to disease independent of environmental and behavioral risks
question
most chronic diseases are not mono genetic
answer
true
question
monogenetic
answer
disease is linked to a single mutation such as cystic fibrosis
question
Polygenetic
answer
meaning multiple genes act together to cause the disease many diseases are experienced in later years of life rather than early in life and genetic interventions are more apt to be beneficial slower genetic change fails to compensate for rapid environmental change

question
disparity in noncommunicable disease noncommunicable diseases a major contributor to disparity in life except a
answer
an example age-adjusted stroke and heart disease deaths are higher for African-Americans than for white because they're likely to die of cancer more than any other racial or ethnic group is associated with economic inequality specifically the differences between the very wealthy and the very poor accounting for the higher prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and those below the poverty level
question
pprimary prevention programs help to
answer
change barriers to healthy lifestyle for example obtaining at the level of exercise and urban setting require safe streets for lucky and access to recreational activity
question
secondary prevention efforts are also associated with reduced morbidity and mortality related to noncommunicable diseases especially screening
answer
includes mammograms and screening for colorectal cancers
question
tertiary prevention efforts aimed at reducing the adverse consequences experienced a person who is Artie been diagnosed with disease

efficacious, reduce emergency department usage and health distress, and transcend ethnic boundaries
question
culture and noncommunicable disease
answer
culture plays a big part when culture is mentioned in conjunction with prevention of noncommunicable disease the focus is on the role of the culture in relation to the individual risk behavior such as food nutrition and exercise it is also important in the development of educational materials
question
culture shifts
answer
occur over time because no culture is static in the past 50 years have been cultural shifts in the US relation to risk behaviors sulci with noncommunicable disease
question
culture shift
answer
is defined as a change in societies dominant use morals and behaviors when applied to health a represents a shift in how cited use that issue and risk factors associated with the development of disease. For example there has been a cultural shift in how society perceives drinking alcohol and driving once was viewed as a normal behavior is now not tolerated resulting criminal consequences
