Module on Preventive Strategies for Non-Communicable Diseases for Nursing and Allied Health Science is of interest not only to the nursing fraternity but for the entire health  professionals as we all are associated with each other in one way or another. The content relates to present data and the preventive strategies of different NCDs, which health personnel should know.
The primary objective of this book is to throw light on the preventive strategies of some major non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, chronic respiratory disorders, Alzheimer’s diseases and osteoporosis. These are all challenges for our country. Special efforts have been taken to enhance the richness of the material by including current statistical information on each of these diseases. This would not only provide insight into the actual burden imposed by these diseases but also into the anticipated burden if proper measures are not taken to check the ever-increasing morbidity.
