Rapid urbanization and globalization have majorly resulted in the rapid increase of the
premature death and the disability from the non-communicable disease in the low and the middle
income countries of the globe. The context of the globalization has brought the diets that are high
in fats, salts, sugar and the processed foods in billions of homes (World Health Organization.
2019). The people residing in the low income and the developing countries have higher tendency
to consume the processed foods which are high in the fat, sugar and the salt. One of the evident
proportion of the global marketing is the marked or the targeted children belonging from the low
income and the developing countries is one of the major contributor towards the unhealthy rate
of behavior.
While the challenges and the issues related to the communicable disease and the
malnutrition still is existent in the eastern Mediterranean region of WHO, the main and the
ultimate burden of the non communicable disease has been increasing rapidly in the low and the
middle income countries. It is furthermore estimated that the non communicable disease
accounts for 50% of all the challenges and the deaths in the region in the year 2004. Inclusive of
the estimated death of 2.2 million from non communicable disease on each and every year
almost 2.1 million occurred in the low and the middle income countries (Di Cesare et al. 2013).
It has furthermore been estimated that more than 780,000 deaths from the non communicable
disease have occurred before the age of 60.

13% hike in the countries with high income in the globe.
Year - 2030 Hike in 43% in the death rates from the non communicable disease in
the low and the middle income countries of the World Health regions

in the western pacific, 39% in the south east Asia and -3% in the

through out the world.
The effect of the thoroughly increasing costs of medicine and medical equipment that are
attributable towards the non-communicable disease among the poorest and the challenging
quantiles are one of the serious cause regarding the impoverishment. Furthermore the higher
proportion of the income of the family that is devoted to the diabetes care is trapped in the
vicious circle of the poverty and the poor health by the increase of the vulnerability towards the
failing ill and limitation of the choices regrading becoming ill. According to Bonita et al (2013),
cancer is the forth cause of the death in the low and middle income countries together with the
increasing rate of malaria. HIV and combined TB. Non communicable disease in the low income
countries furthermore includes the high rate of tobacco consumption among the youth tat
includes the use of the water pipes which is also an increasing issue. Besides this, the low and the
middle income countries witnessed high rate of the growth of obesity among the pre school
children together with the change in the dietary habits and the lack of the physical activities
