Non-Communicable Diseases-Related Stigma: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review

This systematic review examines and consolidates existing evidence on stigma associated with the top four non-communicable diseases (NCDs)—cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes—and its impact on the lives of people affected. We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, PsycINFO, JSTOR, Science Direct, and Web of Science for original research in English that explored health-related stigma among people living with either of the four NCDs. A three-step integrative synthesis of data was conducted. Twenty-six articles (qualitative = 15; quantitative = 11) were selected, with most (n = 15) related to cancers, followed by diabetes (n = 7), chronic respiratory diseases (n = 3), and cardiovascular diseases (n = 1). Blame, shame, and fear were the main causes of stigma, the origin and nature of which differed according to the disease-specific features. The manifestations (enacted and felt stigma) and consequences (social, behavioral, psychological, and medical) of stigma across NCDs were similar. Inconsistencies existed in the conceptualization of stigma processes. To fill this gap, we developed an NCD-related stigma framework. People living with NCDs can experience stigma, which can negatively impact their health, management of their disease, and quality of life. The new framework can help in improving the understanding of the processes and experiences of stigma related to NCDs.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, are responsible for around 70 percent of global deaths each year. This chapter describes how NCDs have become prevalent and critically evaluates global efforts to address NCDs and their risk factors, with a particular focus on the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations (UN) system. It explores the factors that have prevented those addressing NCDs from achieving access to resources and a priority commensurate with their impact on people’s lives. The chapter evaluates the global response to NCDs both prior to and since the UN High-Level Meeting on Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases, held in 2011, and considers opportunities for strengthening that response in future.

Abstract Background To address change in gender gap of life expectancy (GGLE) in Shanghai from 1973 to 2018, and to identify the major causes of death and age groups associated with the change overtime.Methods Retrospective demographic analysis with application of Joinpoint regression to evaluate the temporal trend in GGLE. Causes of death were coded in accordance with International Classification of Diseases and mapped with the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) cause list. Life table technique and decomposition method was used to express changes in GGLE.Results Trend of GGLE in Shanghai experienced two phases ie., a decrease from 8.4 to 4.2 years in the descent phase (1973-1999) and a fluctuation between 4.0 and 4.9 years in the plateau phase (1999-2018). The reduced age-specific mortality rates tended to concentrate to a narrower age range, from age 0-9 and above 30 years in the descent phase to age above 55 years in the plateau phase. Gastroesophageal and liver cancer, communicable, chronic respiratory and digestive diseases were once the major contributors to narrow GGLE in the descent phase. While importance should be attached to a widening effect on GGLE by lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, other neoplasms like colorectal and pancreatic cancer and diabetes in recent plateau phase.Conclusions Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have made GGLE enter a plateau phase from a descent phase in Shanghai China. Public efforts to reduce excess mortalities for male NCDs, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes in particular and health policies focused on the middle-aged and elderly population might further narrow GGLE and ensure improvement in health and health equity in Shanghai China.

Background: This systematic review evaluates the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients with chronic respiratory diseases.Methods: A systematic literature search was performed based on the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus, using the search terms: “oral health-related quality of life” and “respiratory disease” or “lung” and “oral health-related quality of life.” Full-text articles published until June 30, 2021 and reporting any OHRQoL measurement in children or adults with a chronic respiratory disease or condition were included and analyzed qualitatively.Results: A total of seven out of 44 studies were included, of which four studies examined adults and three studies investigated children. The respective diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n = 2), sleep apnea (n = 2), severe asthma (n = 1), cystic fibrosis (n = 1), and lung transplantation (n = 1). Four studies confirmed a worse OHRQoL in the respiratory diseased group compared to healthy controls. The overall OHRQoL was reduced in the included studies. Oral health, health-related quality of life, and disease-related parameters were rarely examined with regard to OHRQoL.Conclusion: Patients with chronic respiratory diseases show a reduced OHRQoL. Oral health should be fostered in these individuals to support their OHRQoL.

Abstract Background Monitoring and reducing premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a global priority of Agenda 2030. This study aimed to describe the mortality trends and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to NCDs between 1990 and 2017 for Brazil and to project those for 2030 as well as the risk factors (RFs) attributed deaths according to estimates of the Global Burden of Disease Study. Methods We analyzed cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, neoplasms, and diabetes, and compared the mortality rates in 1990 and 2017 for all of Brazil and states. The study used the definition of premature mortality (30–69 years) that is used by the World Health Organization. The number of deaths, mortality rates, DALYs, and years of life lost (YLL) were used to compare 1990 and 2017. We analyzed the YLL for NCDs attributable to RFs. Results There was a reduction of 35.3% from 509.1 deaths/100,000 inhabitants (1990) to 329.6 deaths/100,000 inhabitants due to NCDs in 2017. The DALY rate decreased by 33.6%, and the YLL rate decreased by 36.0%. There were reductions in NCDs rates in all 27 states. The main RFs related to premature deaths by NCDs in 2017 among women were high body mass index (BMI), dietary risks, high systolic blood pressure, and among men, dietary risks, high systolic blood pressure, tobacco, and high BMI. Trends in mortality rates due to NCDs declined during the study period; however, after 2015, the curve reversed, and rates fluctuated and tended to increase. Conclusion Our findings highlighted a decline in premature mortality rates from NCDs nationwide and in all states. There was a greater reduction in deaths from cardiovascular diseases, followed by respiratory diseases, and we observed a minor reduction for those from diabetes and neoplasms. The observed fluctuations in mortality rates over the last 3 years indicate that if no further action is taken, we may not achieve the NCD Sustainable Development Goals. These findings draw attention to the consequences of austerity measures in a socially unequal setting with great regional disparities in which the majority of the population is dependent on state social policies.

Introduction: Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a huge obstacle to global health. In addition to causing economic impact on families and communities, they also cause many premature deaths, cause great restrictions and loss of quality of life. Objective: To portray the mortality profile due to chronic non-communicable diseases in the city of Parnaíba (PI) from 2016 to 2019. Methods: This is an ecological design of time series, with data collected from the Mortality Information System (SIM) of the Ministry of Health, between August and January 2020. Data that presented information from other municipalities were excluded. For data collection, version 3.6b of TABWIN, a program provided by DATASUS, was used. Data analysis was performed through the use of descriptive statistical analyses, including the whole number and percentage for non-communicable chronic diseases. Results and Discussion: Mortality rates, in the period from 2016 to 2019, due to NCDs present a high percentage of deaths for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), totaling 52.51%, followed by neoplasms (25.31%), diabetes mellitus (12.75%) and respiratory diseases, responsible for 9.43% of deaths. Conclusion: The study allowed the identification of a conformity of mortality rates between females and males, being higher in men in general, in the period studied, and that deaths from cardiovascular diseases total more than half of deaths from NCDs in the municipality of Parnaíba.

Abstract Background Nepal has made significant strides towards its commitment to achieve universal health coverage in the past few decades. However, the paucity of evidence on morbidity, mortality and trends in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) has posed a significant hindrance in targeting resources for prevention, screening and treatment services. Thus, we conducted a systematic review of the existing evidence on the distribution of NCDs and their trends in Nepal from 1990 to 2017.Methods We analysed data on disability adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability, years of life lost due to NCDs in Nepal and its comparator countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) from 1990 to 2017 using all available data sources from Global Burden of Disease 2017. We also conducted supplemental analysis using data from the 2016 Nepal Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) to further elucidate the provincial level prevalence of key NCD risk factors.Results The result showed that between 1990 and 2017, life expectancy at birth increased by 14 years, from 58 years to 71 years on an average in Nepal. The three leading causes of DALYs in 2017 were cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), maternal and neonatal disorders and chronic respiratory diseases. High systolic blood pressure, smoking and high fasting plasma glucose were leading contributors to the NCD DALYs burden in 2017. At any ages ≥ 40 years, NCDs and injuries were responsible for 75–82% of total DALYs. Injuries, self-harm and violence, mental, neurological and musculoskeletal disorders superseded CVDs to become the leading causes of DALYs in young population aged 15–35 years.Conclusions CVDs were the leading causes of death in 2017 followed by chronic respiratory diseases and cancers. Data such as these are an important tool for framing a coherent policy response towards achieving the sustainable development goals, and the targets set by Nepal’s first Multi-sectoral Action plan on NCDs (2014–2020).

The advancing of economic and technology in the last 1–2 centuries that characterized by industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have changed human lifestyle worldwide. Abundance of food and the ease of getting it, the availability of calorie-dense processed foods, changes in dietary patterns, and sedentary lifestyles force the rapid accretion of the incidence of obesity and non-communicable diseases such as type 2 Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and cancer. Non communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, and one of the major health challenges of the 21st century.1 In 2016, NCDs were responsible for 71% (41 million) of the 57 million deaths which occurred globally. The major NCDs responsible for these deaths included cardiovascular, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.2 Many epidemiological, observational, and clinical studies have shown that nutrition, as the main environmental factor, plays a pivotal role in these high-cost degenerative diseases.
