1 Ischemic Heart Disease
Ischemic heart disease also known as coronary artery disease. Ischemic heart disease occurs when there is a partial blockage of blood flow to the heart. If the blood flow is completely blocked then a myocardial infarction (heart attack) occurs. "Ischemic" means that an organ (like the heart) is not getting enough blood and oxygen. When the arteries that carry blood and oxygen to the heart are blocked, it means you have ischemic heart disease - and a very big problem. If left untreated, the disease can lead to heart failure and death.
Based on data from WHO (2011) that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world and 60% of all causes of death are heart disease and ischemic heart disease at least 17.5 million, equivalent to 30.0% of deaths worldwide are caused by heart disease . It is estimated that in 2030 23.6 million people worldwide will die from cardiovascular disease.
Risk factors for a person suffering from CHD were divided into two groups of risk factors that can be controlled and that can not be controlled. Risk factors that can be controlled or made up the habit of smoking, high blood pressure (hypertension), dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, stress, and obesity. While the risk factors that can not be controlled consists of heredity, age (more elderly person more at risk of developing CHD) and gender (men have a higher risk than women, but after menopause, women exposed to the risk of CHD is increased).
The best thing you can do to prevent ischemic heart disease was paid great attention to these risk factors.
2 Cerebrovascular Disease
Stroke (English: stroke, cerebrovascular accident, CVA) is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted. In brain tissue, the lack of blood flow causes a series of biochemical reactions, which can damage or kill nerve cells in the brain. Death of brain tissue can cause a loss of function that is controlled by the network.
Cerebrovascular disease or stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted because a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked (ischemic stroke) or rupture open (hemorrhagic stroke). If blood flow is stopped for longer than a few seconds, the brain can not get blood and oxygen. Brain cells then die, causing permanent damage. When brain cells die, the body becomes panic.
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide in 2008, with 6.2 million deaths (up to 11% of total deaths). Approximately 17 million people have a stroke in 2010 and 33 million people have experienced a stroke before and are still alive. Between 1990 and 2010 the number of people with stroke dropped about 10% in developed countries and increased by 10% in developing countries. Overall, two-thirds of the incidence of strokes occur in people over 65 years.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke, thus maintaining normal blood pressure is the main way to avoid it.
3 Lower Respiratory Infection
We all need to breathe. Breathing is one of the necessities of life. But if you're suffering from lower respiratory infections, breathing can not be done as usual. There are two types of lower respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonia. Some common symptoms of this infection are runny nose and sneezing, headache, and sore throat. Children are very susceptible to this disease.
Lower respiratory tract infections are generally more serious than upper respiratory infections. Since 1993 there has been a slight decrease in the number of deaths from lower respiratory tract infections. However, in 2002 this disease remains a leading cause of death among all infectious diseases, and accounted for 3.9 million deaths worldwide and 6.9% of all deaths that year. In 2010, lower respiratory infections cause about 2.8 million deaths.
4 HIV / AIDS
HIV / AIDS was first reported in 1980, and over several decades, the disease has affected human life. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and is one of the most dreaded diseases. HIV infection weakens the immune system to the point where the body's defense system ultimately does not have anything else, so that common diseases such as the common cold could be fatal. This virus attacks the T-cells and CD4 + T cells, both of which are needed to fight infection. AIDS, or Acquired Immune Deficiency, is when the immune system is not working properly.
AIDS has infected an estimated 38.6 million people around the world. In January 2006, UNAIDS in collaboration with the WHO estimate that AIDS has caused the death of more than 25 million people since it was first recognized on June 5, 1981 As such, this disease is one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. AIDS claimed to have caused the death of an estimated 2.4 to 3.3 million in 2005 alone, and more than 570,000 people of whom are children.
5. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD is commonly known as, is one of the most common forms of lung disease, and it makes it very difficult for the sufferer to breathe. There are two forms of COPD. The first is chronic bronchitis, defined by a long-term cough accompanied by phlegm. While the other is emphysema, the lung damage that occurs little by little. Most people with COPD have a combination of both. WHO says COPD is the fifth leading cause of death in the world, which will cause the death of the 2.75 million people, equivalent to 4.8%.
Smoking is the main cause of this disease, although there are also other risk factors, such as exposure to gases or vapors in the workplace. Basically, stay away from nicotine!
7 Diarrhea
Diarrhea is defined as a disease in which the stool or feces turns into soft or liquid which usually happens at least three times in 24 hours. If diarrhea lasts for weeks or even months, diarrhea was considered as a chronic disease. Any diarrhea can cause dehydration, which means the body will lose a lot of fluids and essential electrolytes. People of all ages can get diarrhea, according to the National Institutes of Health, in the United States, the average adult had a severe diarrhea per year while the children have an average of two episodes per year. Although the disease is relatively common, but if left untreated, can lead to severe dehydration and even death ...! In developing countries, diarrhea is the most common cause of infant mortality, and also kills more than 2.6 million people annually.
8 Tuberculosis
Productive cough, fever, fatigue, excessive sweating and weight loss is a symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis, or often abbreviated TB. TB is a bacterial infection that attacks the lungs, but can also spread to other organs. Symptoms of this disease may remain stagnant for years or may also appear immediately. Some groups have a higher risk for contracting the disease, such as the elderly, infants and people with weakened immune systems due to other diseases, such as AIDS or diabetes, or even individuals who have undergone chemotherapy. Being around other people who suffer from tuberculosis, has a poor diet or living in unsanitary conditions are risk factors for contracting TB.
Experts believe that one third of the world's population has been infected by M. tuberculosis, and new infections occur at a rate of one person per one second. In 2007, there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases at the global level. In 2010, the increase in new cases estimated to occur as many as 8.8 million cases and 1.5 million deaths that occur in the majority of developing countries.
9 Malaria
Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one person to another through the bite of an infected mosquito. In humans, the parasite goes to the liver, where they settle and mature there. Once mature, they release other parasites which then enter the bloodstream and infect red blood cells. Although malaria parasites multiply rapidly, but the symptoms can take up to one year to start to feel. This disease is a major health problem in many tropical and subtropical regions. It is estimated that there are 300-500 million cases of malaria each year, and more than 1 million people die from the disease.
10 Cancer trachea, bronchus, and lung
The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the risk for lung cancer will be greater. But what is more frightening is that more than 3,000 non-smoking adults die each year from lung cancer caused by inhaling smoke from people smoking around him. Lung cancer is the most deadly type of cancer for both men and women. Each year, more people die from lung cancer than people who died from breast cancer, colon and prostate. Immediately stay away from cigarettes and stay away from smokers, as they both bring great harm to you!
