Ayurveda is one of the most ancient medical sciences in the world. It is more life and health-oriented and empha- sizes prevention rather than cure. In Ayurvedic texts “CHARYA” word has been used to denote lifestyle or day to day activities being performed by individuals. Charya means “Aahara” and “Vihara”, which is to be consumed or followed, to maintain Swasthaya (Health) of an individual. A Comprehensive schedule of a health regimen for promotion and preservation of health as a code of conduct which can be attained through Dincharya (Daily regi- men), Ratricharya (night regimen), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), Vyaayaam (exercise), along with AaharaVidhi Vidhana (rules of diet) has been described in Ayurvedic texts. Lifestyle is the way in which a person lives. Life- style includes behaviours such as dietary habits, sleeping and resting habits, physical activity (include exercising), weight control, smoking and alcohol consumption. The diseases which are not transmitted by any vector, envi- ronment and not transmitted from person to person is called Non-Communicable Disease or chronic disease or Lifestyle disease. In Ayurvedic texts, there is no such type of disease mentioned but in Ayurveda, this kind of dis- ease and its causative factors have been mentioned in abundance during the description of Nidana. So, an attempt has been made to understand the Lifestyle diseases and their Nidanain the light of Ayurveda, through this paper. Keywords: Charya, Vihara, Lifestyle.

Long-accepted models of causality cast diseases into the binary of either “contagious” or “non-communicable,” typically with institutional resources focused primarily on interrupting infectious disease transmission. But in southern Belize, as in much of the world today, epidemic diabetes has become a leading cause of death and a notorious contributor to organ failure and amputated limbs. This ethnographic essay follows caregivers’ and families’ work to survive in-between public health categories, and asks what responses a bifurcated model of infectious versus non-communicable disease structures or incapacitates in practice. It proposes an alternative focus on diabetes as a “para-communicable” condition—materially transmitted as bodies and ecologies intimately shape each other over time, with unequal and compounding effects for historically situated groups of people. The article closes by querying how communicability relates to community, and why it matters to reframe narratives about contributing causalities in relation to struggles for treatment access.

This paper used Our World data for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) death count, test data, stringency, and transmission count and prepared a path model for COVID-19 deaths. We augmented the model with age structure-related variables and comorbidity via non-communicable diseases for 117 countries of the world for September 23, 2021, on a cross-section basis. A broad-based global quantitative study incorporating these two prominent channels with regional variation was unavailable in the existing literature. Old age and comorbidity were identified as two prime determinants of COVID-19 mortality. The path model showed that after controlling for these factors, one SD increase in the proportion of persons above 65, above 70, or of median age raised COVID-19 mortality by more than 0.12 SDs for 117 countries. The regional intensity of death is alarmingly high in South America, Europe, and North America compared with Oceania. After controlling for regions, the figure was raised to 0.213, which was even higher. For old age, the incremental coefficient was the highest for South America (0.564), and Europe (0.314), which were substantially higher than in Oceania. The comorbidity channel via non-communicable diseases illustrated that one SD increase in non-communicable disease intensity increased COVID-19 mortality by 0.132 for the whole sample. The regional figure for the non-communicable disease was 0.594 for South America and 0.358 for Europe compared with the benchmark region Oceania. The results were statistically significant at a 10% level of significance or above. This suggested that we should prioritize vaccinations for the elderly and people with comorbidity via non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes. Further attention should be given to South America and Europe, which are the worst affected regions of the world.

As implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) accelerates and states seek to address risk factors for non-communicable disease more broadly, tension has increased between the law of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and public health. For example, Indonesia recently brought a successful claim against a U.S. law that prohibits cigarettes with a characterizing flavor other than menthol or tobacco. Indonesia succeeded in arguing that the regulation discriminates against clove-flavored cigarettes of Indonesian origin in favor of menthol-flavored cigarettes of U.S. origin.Also in the WTO context, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Ukraine have challenged an Australian law prohibiting the presence of branding on tobacco packaging other than product and variant names in a standardized location, font size, and style. This regulation, commonly referred to as “plain packaging,” is the first of its kind and may represent a turning point in the regulation of tobacco packaging.

Penyakit tidak menular (PTM) adalah penyakit atau kondisi medis yang tidak dapat ditularkan dari satu individu ke individu lainnya atau dengan pengertian lain merupakan penyakit yang bukan disebabkan oleh proses infeksi (tidak infeksius). Masalah gizi lebih atau obesitas merupakan masalah global dan menjadi masalah utama di negara-negara maju dan berkembang karena mengalami peningkatan tiap tahun yang berkaitan dengan penyakit tidak menular. Dari survei awal diketahui pengetahuan para remaja masih kurang terkait Pentingnya Gizi Seimbang dan Aktivitas Fisik Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) . Tujuan dilakukannya kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan keselamatan para remaja dalam masalah gizi dan penyakit tidak menular khususnya di era pandemi covid-19 sekarang. Kegiatan ini dikemas dalam bentuk pemberian materi dan video tentang  Pentingnya Gizi Seimbang dan Aktivitas Fisik Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) di Era Pandemi Covid-19 . Disetiap akhir kegiatan dilakukan evaluasi terhadap pemahaman remaja. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat terdapat sebanyak 68% pemahaman remaja dalam katergori baik, cukup sebanyak 20% dan kurang sebanyak 12%. Kegiatan berjalan dengan baik dan perlu adanya monitoring lebih lanjut. Kata kunci: Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM); gizi seimbang; aktivitas fisik; covid-19 ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has had a profound impact on various sectors around the world, including the increase in the frequency of Non-Communicable Diseases. Non-communicable disease (PTM) is a disease or medical condition that cannot be transmitted from one individual to another or in other terms is a disease that is not caused by an infectious (non-infectious) process. The problem of over nutrition or obesity is a global problem and is a major problem in developed and developing countries because it has increased every year related to non-communicable diseases. From the initial survey, it was found that teenagers' knowledge was still lacking regarding the importance of balanced nutrition and physical activity in preventing non-communicable diseases (PTM). The purpose of this activity is to improve the safety of adolescents in nutrition and non-communicable diseases, especially in the current Covid-19 pandemic era. This activity is packaged in the form of providing materials and videos about the Importance of Balanced Nutrition and Physical Activity in Efforts to Prevent Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM) in the Covid-19 Pandemic Era. At the end of each activity, an evaluation of the understanding of adolescents is carried out. The results of community service activities were as much as 68% of the residents' understanding was in the good category, 20% enough and 12% less. Activities are running well and further monitoring is needed. Keywords: Non-Communicable Diseases (PTM); balanced nutrition; physical activity; covid-19

Breast cancer is a non-communicable disease and a major health problem in the world. Based on the data from WHO in 2012, the incidence of breast cancer is reported as 1.67 million cases. One cause of the highest morbidity and mortality in breast cancer is chemoresistance. Various attempts were made to solve this problem. The purpose of this review is to describe the potential of fucoidan from brown seaweeds (Sargassum sp.) as innovation therapy on breast cancer. Fucoidan as proapoptotic agents affect many target cells (multi-targets) to induce apoptosis. Fucoidan has a potential for a new treatment of breast cancer because of its potent proapoptotic and anti-metastatic properties. However, no research has yet evaluated this in clinical trial. Hence,  further studies are needed to confirm the true potential of fucoidan from brown seaweeds as therapy for breast cancer.     Keywords: anti-proliferative agents, pro-apoptotic agents, fucoidan, breast cancer
