SDSU Prevalence of Non Communicable Diseases Discussion 1. Using this interactive map (Links to an external site.) and look at the rate of NCD in 2016 among the entire population. Provide a summary of what you found. What trends emerge? Do you see specific countries/regions where rates of NCDs were higher? Why do you think there are differences by region?

Once you have digested the data, discuss two strategies you would recommend for reducing the rate of NCDs globally.

2. Using this interactive map (Links to an external site.), pick a specific WHO region and look at the rate of NCD in 2016 among the entire population. Provide a summary of what you found. What trends emerge? Were their specific countries where rates of NCDs were higher?

Once you have digested the data, discuss two strategies you would recommend for reducing the rate of NCDs in this region specifically.

NOTE: This may require a bit of outside research to provide context.

3. Now, let’s look at the SAME region from the question above. Using this interactive map (Links to an external site.), look at the rate of NCD in 2016 separately among males and among females. Provide a summary of what you found. What trends emerge?

Once you have digested the data, discuss two strategies you would recommend for reducing the rate of NCDs in this region specifically. Do you recommend targeting a specific gender? Why or why not?
