Noncommunicable Diseases Concept Map Overview

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are long-lasting conditions that are not passed from person to person. The four major groups are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. A noncommunicable diseases mind map organizes these groups around their shared causes, so you can see how one risk factor connects to several conditions.

  • Major NCD types: heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, chronic lung disease
  • Modifiable risk factors: tobacco, harmful alcohol use, poor diet, inactivity
  • Metabolic factors: raised blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, obesity
  • Underlying drivers: urbanization, aging, and social and economic conditions
  • Prevention and control: policy, screening, treatment and health system care

Use the map to revise causes and prevention side by side. To make a map tailored to your course notes, create one with CogniGuide.

NCD Mind Map Questions

Answers on noncommunicable diseases and making your own map.

What are the four main noncommunicable diseases?

The four main groups are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. Together they cause most deaths from noncommunicable diseases worldwide, and they share several modifiable risk factors.

What is the difference between communicable and noncommunicable diseases?

Communicable diseases spread from one person to another through infection, such as influenza. Noncommunicable diseases are not spread this way; they usually develop slowly and are linked to genetics, behavior and environment.

Which file types can I use to make an NCD map?

You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image. You can also type the topic name without uploading anything.

Can I turn my NCD mind map into a quiz?

Yes. The free plan lets you create up to 5 items a week, and you can turn a map into a quiz to test your recall of risk factors, disease types and prevention.
