LESSON
Introduction:
Disease is a condition that prevents the body or mind from working
normally.
Two types of diseases
1. Communicable diseases – are illness that can be transferred or passed
from one person to another.
They are caused by pathogens like germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
protozoa.
Examples: colds, pneumonia, influenza or flu, malaria, etc.
2. Non communicable or chronic diseases –are non-infectious illnesses
which may result from hereditary or lifestyle factors and not from pathogens.
Common example are heart disease and cancer that may result from
hereditary factors, improper diet, and other risk factors. Some non-
communicable diseases do not usually lead to death but are uncomfortable
and causes suffering.
a. Benign – masses of cells that are not cancerous and do not spread.
b. Malignant – masses of cells that are cancerous. They may spread to other
parts of the body by moving along the blood vessels or through the lymph
system. This spreading is called metastasis.
Changes in urination
Swelling in legs, ankles, feet, face or hands
Extreme skin rashes and itching
Nausea and vomiting
Shortness of breath, feeling cold, dizziness, and concentration problems
brought about by anemia related to kidney failure
FYI…
According to the World Health Organization, non-communicable diseases or
NCDs, are by far the leading causes of death in the world, representing 63% of all
annual deaths. Non communicable diseases kill more the 36 million people each year.
Some 80% of all NCD deaths occur in low – and middle income countries.
