Sol. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are strongly linked to behavioral risk factors like smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and alcohol abuse. These factors are preventable and modifying them through lifestyle change can reduce global NCD burden significantly.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Physical inactivity – Leads to obesity, high BP, and increased NCD risk, especially heart disease.
· (b) Harmful Alcohol consumption – Damages liver, raises cancer risk, and affects mental health.
· (c) Tobacco use – Major risk factor for lung cancer, oral cancer, and COPD.
· (d) All of these – Correct. WHO identifies these three as major modifiable risk factors for NCDs.
