Recently, the Word Health Organization/International Agency for Research on Cancer published the 4th edition of European Code against Cancer with 12 personal advices on how to diminish the risk of development of cancer. A proportion of advices refers to risk factors which are connected to our everyday lifestyle; an other admonishes to comply with the services offered by the health care system. In Hungary, the European Code has not received adequate publicity so far. As common risk factors play a major role in the development of chronic non-communicable diseases, the advices may contribute to the prevention of both cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Orv.

Non Communicable Diseases

The increasing incidence and prevalence of non-communicable diseases is a major global health concern. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the highest percentage of deaths related to non-communicable diseases, and low and middle-income countries (LMIC) face the highest burden of CVDs. Understanding the knowledge and perception of CVDs and their risk factors in an LMIC such as Nigeria may play an important role in cardiovascular health promotion and improvement plans to reduce CVD-related deaths. A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of some personal and sociocultural views on CVDs and their risk factors. The participants were purposively sampled primary school teachers in South-Eastern Nigeria. Thematic analysis approach was used for data analysis. The study findings include knowledge of heart disease, perceived causes and risk factors of CVDs, spirituality, and the way forward. Overall, the knowledge of CVDs in the setting was found to be related to the psychosocial nature of the participants; the effectiveness of any intervention needs to take these factors into consideration. For example, health policies for CVD health education and awareness should be tailored to address some of the issues of belief, values, and religion, as mentioned in the study.

Epidemiological Situation

Chronic non - communicable diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases, are the leading cause of death worldwide, including in the Russian Federation (RF). The article analyzes the negative and positive trends of the most relevant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases for the period from 2013 to 2017, and also provides a strategy for reducing mortality in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024 based on data from an epidemiological analysis.

Traditional Risk Factors

With widespread antiretroviral therapy (ART) accessibility and uptake, HIV has transitioned in many ways to a chronic condition marked by heightened risks of non-communicable diseases. Several clinical and epidemiological studies over the past two decades have demonstrated elevated risks for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among people with HIV. These risks appear to be particularly elevated among people with histories of long periods of uncontrolled viremia and CD4 lymphopenia, and dovetail with traditional risk factors (such as smoking) that are common among people with HIV. This chapter presents a discussion of the evolving epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and putative mechanisms of CVDs among people with HIV.

Myocardial Infraction

Introduction: The major Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases. Among the cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infarction and angina have high morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study assessed the prevalence of risk factors of NCD among adults, screened possible CVDs (myocardial infraction and angina) among adults and related presence of risk factors with possible CVDs (myocardial infarction and angina) Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among an adult population of 30 to 50 years in Devchuli Municipality of Nawalpur district, Nepal from June to December 2018. We used WHO STEPS survey questionnaire to assess risk factors and Rose Angina Questionnaire given by WHO to find out the possible myocardial infarction and angina as study tools. We used complete filled 372 questionnaires to analyze and draw the results. Proportionate random sampling was performed to obtain the sample from each ward. Results: The prevalence of the use of any type of tobacco products was 20.7% and consumption of alcoholic products was 19.62%. Prevalence of physically inactive was found at 44.9%. Out of the total participants 25%, 15.3%, and 3.5% reported hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases respectively. Prevalence of possible rose angina and the myocardial infarction was found to be 8.06% and 2.7% respectively. Smoking (χ2=9.685, df=1, p=0.02) and alcohol consumption (χ2=4.331, df=1, p=0.037) were found significantly associated with Rose Angina. Conclusions: The prevalence of risk factors of non-communicable diseases was high. Possible angina and the myocardial infarction were also found out in the adult population. Individual and community-based behavior change intervention program would be the way out to overcome the problem.
