POOR NUTRITION AND INCIDENCE OF NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN NWANGELE
CHAPTER ONE:
1.1Â Â Background of the Study:
Poor nutrition is the cause of deficiency disease in human that is directly caused by lack of essential nutrient in the diet. Poor nutrition is as old as mans existence on earth.
According to Awake (2003) poor nutrition covers a wide range of illness from under nourishment due to lack of one or more nutrient such as vitamins and mineral deficiency to obesity and other related chronic diseases. The World Health Organization, (2003)reported that poor nutrition is not limited to children only. However developed countries are not free from poor nutrition.
On the other hand, it is indisputably true that man has almost complete dominion over all things on earth,yet he has remained subjected to physical,biological,social and environmental problems which he created. Non-communicable diseases(NCDs),also known as chronic diseases are not contagious or transferable from one person to another,but it is contacted individually.there are four main types of non –communicable diseases that occur among the youths which are cardiovascular diseases (like heart attack and strokes),cancers,chronic respiratory diseases such as (chronic obstructed pulmonary diseases),and diabetes and others included hypertension,trauma,mental disorder,fractures,malnutrition,poisoning, fibromyalgia e.t.c. which the effect leads to damages of vital cells and tissues which may even lead to death. Non-communicable diseases have many different causes but they are never caused by bacteria,germs,or other living organisms that attack the body,they are never spread from one person to another (World Health Organization 2002 and 2010).
1.2Â Â Â Statement of the Problem:
This project attempts to investigate the Poor Nutrition and Incidence of Non-Communicable Diseases in Nwangele L.G.A. Poor Nutrition and Non-communicable diseases work hand in gloves. In recent times, poor nutrition causes variety of different health problems both in adult and children. Poor nutrition and incidence of non-communicable diseases varies from one person to another. Health problems are associated with poverty, poor diet and lack of essential resources. Among these is inadequate clean water, shelter, food, educational orientation and clean air. This project therefore, seeks to examine poor nutrition and incidence of non-communicable diseases in Nwangele L.G.A.
