Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A noncommunicable disease is a medical condition that is not transmitted from one person to another. It is acquired directly from the environment, often as a result of lifestyle choices or genetic predisposition. Examples of noncommunicable diseases include cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, which are often caused by factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, alcohol and tobacco use, and environmental pollution.
