Highlights

Half of annual mortality and almost half of the burden of disease in Bangladesh are for NCDs, less evidence are available to identify the variables responsible for NCDs
It was mentioned that Body Mass Index [BMI = Weight / Height] and obesity was associated with NCDs [10,17,18]
The association of prevalence of NCDs with other social characters was studied by chi-square test

Summary

Introduction

Half of annual mortality and almost half of the burden of disease in Bangladesh are for NCDs, less evidence are available to identify the variables responsible for NCDs. The diseases which are non-infectious and non-transmissible and sometimes last for long duration even under proper medical treatment are termed as noncommunicable diseases (NCD’s). These diseases are the major health burden in the industrialized countries and are increasing rapidly in the developing countries owing to demographic transitions and changing lifestyles among the people. The major causes of death in Bangladesh gradually shifted from acute infectious and parasitic diseases to NCDs. Diabetes is one of the major components of NCDs
