Subject Latin America's most serious health challenge -- obesity. Significance The growth of obesity in Latin America has made the issue one of the most important in the region. More than half of the population is overweight to some degree, according to the standards established by the World Health Organization (WHO). As a result, governments have had to take action to address the problem and its effects, which are putting health systems in a state of financial crisis. Impacts Demand for treatment for non-communicable diseases will increase regionwide, placing a strain on health budgets. Increasing pressures on health budgets may encourage further privatisation of services. High revenues make any repeal of Mexico's sugar tax extremely unlikely despite pressure from industry bodies.

According to the World Health Organization (hereinafter, WHO), 38 million people die each year as a consequence of non-communicable diseases (hereinafter, NCDs). NCDs are mainly caused by diet-related factors, but also by physical inactivity and abuse of certain substances. In particular, overweight and obesity reportedly affect more than 10% of men and 14% of women globally and kill as many as 2.8 million people every year.

The activities of the World Health Organization (WHO) during 1955 were surveyed in the anuual report to the World Health Assembly and to the UN of the WHO Director-General, Dr. Marcoline G. Candau. During 1955, Dr. Candau stated, substantial results had been achieved in three categories of programs: the fight against communicable diseases, the strengthening of national health services, and the raising of standards of education and training for all types of health personnel. Malaria, tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, and trachoma were among the communicable diseases towards the eradication of which WHO activities had been directed, with in many instances considerable progress. However, it had become increasingly evident that the beneficial effects of such campaigns against disease could only constitute concrete gains for public health if national health services could be effectively strengthened, and during 1955 a large part of WHO's work had continued to be devoted to that aim, in all regions but particularly in the Americas, southeast Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. In the development of national health services, particular attention had been devoted to such matters as the principle of program integration, nutrition and health education, changes in health services necessitated by the aging of populations, mental health, and environmental sanitation. In regard to education and training of health personnel, an effort had been made in the regions to increase the use of all methods which had proved their value in the past, including direct training of health personnel at all levels, provision of fellowships for study abroad, assistance to institutions and the sponsoring of international conferences, training courses and seminars.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world based on World Health Organization (WHO) survey in 2015. It took DNA microarray technology to analyze and diagnose cancer. DNA microarray has large dimensions so it influences the process of cancer ‘s classification. GA and PCA are used as reduction method and MBP Powell Beale as classification method. The testing of MBP classification without dimension reduction results 70, 59% ? 100% accuracy. MBP+PCA results 76, 47% ? 100% accuracy. MBP + GA results 76, 47% ? 92, 31% accuracy.

Harmful Use Of Alcohol

The harmful use of alcohol is a risk factor for the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes and others. In addition to morbidity, alcohol abuse increases mortality, especially at young ages. An important characteristic is the frequency and amount of alcohol consumed by a person. The more often and more a person abuses alcohol, the higher the risk of developing NCDs and the mortality rate. Purpose of the study: analysis of publications of the World Health Organization and scientific publications of foreign researchers on the influence of alcohol on the development of non-communicable diseases.Materials and research methods. Content analysis of documents of the World Health Organization and foreign studies on the assessment of the impact of alcohol In total, 48 documents of international organizations were analyzed, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC-IARC) and the World Bank, as well as 211 scientific publications. Of these, 19 documents were selected, which included materials from WHO, UN, IARC and the World Bank on the impact of alcohol abuse on health, and 63 scientific publications on this topic. Selection criterion: the content in the documents of materials that adequately describe the impact of alcohol abuse on health as a risk factor for the development of various diseases.Results. An analysis of the documents and publications presented revealed a large massif of evidence that the harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in the development of a number of noncommunicable diseases, an increase in mortality and disability at earlier stages of life, and the development of a link between harmful use of alcohol and a number of mental and behavioral disorders.

Notwithstanding the threat of infectious pandemics, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are now the leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in all regions of the world except Africa. The rise in NCDs, especially in the developing world, is very much a result of global market integration, trade and investment liberalization, and the growth in the reach and power of transnational corporations whose stock-in-trade are health-harmful commodities (tobacco, alcohol, and obesogenic foods). The modern global governance challenge of what are now referred to as the ‘commercial determinants of health’ is the extent to which such commodities are regulated by governments, passed over to corporate social (self-) responsibility, or seen as an amalgam of the poor lifestyles of individuals in need of a behavioural ‘nudge’. The World Health Organization, the lead international organization developing responses to the NCD threat, must confront powerful member nations representing powerful corporate interests resistant to regulatory change.

This chapter includes a brief overview of musculoskeletal conditions which are described in health terms as non-communicable diseases. Health systems internationally share common goals of improving the health and well-being of their populations and the management of non-communicable diseases is key in every country. This chapter describes how across the world governments share significant challenges for the future, with the growing elderly and chronic disease populations and increasing healthcare costs. Agreed international goals have been set by the World Health Organization and some of the key targets are outlined. The consequences of either trauma or disease can result in a musculoskeletal condition that may impact the individual’s quality of life, health, and functional ability. The role of the nurse and how individual nurses in all care sectors should consider public health factors when caring for patients are discussed.
