Non communicable diseases 2IntroductionDisease refers to a condition in which individuals are out of their comfort zone. Some disease are communicable whereas s some are non-communicable (Kumar et.al. 2014). Non-communicable diseases are basically the one that are caused by infectious bacteria’s. These diseases last for long time in the body and are capable enough to become the reason for the death (Baum, 2016). Some of these diseases may include, heart attracts, cancers, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and many others. Research over the years had shown that these diseases were the main cause behind 68% of death in the year 2012 and 60% in the year 2000. There are factors which give rise to all these NCDs such as, lifestyle of the people, edible habits, family background, age and environmental factors. As some of these factors areinternal and some external so, it’s not an easy task to manage all the factors in an efficient manner. Normally more than 5 million individuals die because of taking tobacco (Rayner & Mendis, 2017).According to the world health organisation there are five major factors (World Health Organization, 2016). Behind non communicable diseases and further these factors may give rise to certain major health issues such as, cholesterol, blood pressure and overweight. Apart from all these things economic as well as social factors also plays an important role in determining the health of a person living in the society.In this report discussion will be carried on demographic characteristics, overweight and obesity, intervention description, communication strategy and overall evaluations.Demographic characteristics of the specific school and surrounding communityDemographics characteristics basically include complete information regarding the gender, age, profession, education, overall income level of an individual, age, cast and many more things (Florian &Pantić, 2017)..At the time of making any kind of plans as well as

In this primary school total students are 437 in which boys are 224 and girls are 213 whereas, total strength of staff members is 27. This school provide the education to the student whose age group falls in 4-13 years. In this age these children are capable enough to understand health related this and contribute in health sector (Watanabe & Honda, 2017).Size of the community has grown tremendously over the last 20 years. Although the migration level is considerable low but overall there is a natural increase in the birth rate so, in order to assure that healthy population there is a need to spread complete information related to health care.Apart from all this maximum number of people living in the nearby community follow Christianity because of which maximum primary schools provide education on the basis of catholic system.
