Background

  • Global Health Ⅰ:
    Session 13: 『Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)』

Cardiovascular Disease has been the major cause of death in developed countries. Also

in the developing country, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are increasing due to the

change of the lifestyle, resulting in the rapid increase in cardiovascular disease. Although

infectious diseases has been the most important health problems conventionally in the

developing country, it will become very important to prevent and treat lifestyle-related disease in the near future. I would like to learn how to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, and how to educate people together with you.
