CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

It is indisputable true that man has almost complete dominion over all things on earth, yet he has remained subjected to physical, biological and social environmental problems which he created. Non-communicable diseases (NCDS), also known as chronic diseases are not contagious or transferable from one person to person. But it is contacted individually; they are four main types of non-communicable diseases that occur among the youths which are cardiovascular diseases (like heart attack and stroke), cancers, and chronic reparatory diseases (such as chronic obstructed pulmonary diseases and asthma) and diabetes, and others include hypertension, trauma, mental disorder, fractures, malnutrition, poisoning, fibromyalgia etc which in effect leads to damage of vital cells and tissues which may even leads to death. Non-communicable diseases have many different causes but they are never caused by bacterial, germs or other living organisms that attack the body, they are never spread from one person to person (WHO,  2002 and 2010).

In the year 2010, there was an estimated number of 80 million deaths globally, of which 90% was due to non-communicable diseases, 1.7 millions deaths was as a result from  cardiovascular diseases (CVD) especially coronary heart diseases (CHD), and stroke, 7.6 million from cancer, 42 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and almost 1.3 million from diabetes (WHO Global Status Report on Non-Communicable Diseases, 2010:411). Mental health problems are leading contributions to the burden of disease in many countries and contributes substantially to the incidence and severity of many non-communicable diseases including VUD and cancer.

Non-communicable diseases contribute substantially to youth (adult) mortality. It adds to health inequalities within Benin City, mainly affecting population largely because of inequalities in the distribution of major risk factor (Mackenbach, 2004). This topic will enhance the youths in Benin City on how to prevent and control the causes of non-communicable diseases among them. Especially through the making in of tobacco and alcohol which damages the respiratory system and heart against the pumping of oxygenated blood for the use of the body.

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS

The problem associated with non-communicable diseases among youths in Benin City varies from one person to another. Health problem are associated with poverty, poor diet, and lack of essential resources among these are inadequate clean water, shelter, food, educational orientation and clean air. In addition, many developing countries and poor population are facing health problems. This is true of diseases especially non-communicable diseases. Globalization is an important determinant of non-communicable diseases epidemics since it has direct effects on national economic and health system (Moffow, R. H.,  2002).

1.3     PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to examine the cause and effects of non-communicable diseases among youths in Benin City. Also to determine the  ways which they can be prevented, controlled and treated.

1.4     RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1.  Does environmental factors increase the incidence of non-communicable disease among youths?

2.  Does the knowledge of health education help to prevent and control non-communicable diseases among youths?

3.  Does the educational qualification of parents enhances the reduction of the incidence of non-communicable diseases among youths?

4.  Do non-communicable diseases increases as a result of life style like intake of tobacco?

5.  Does poverty of parents and lack of essential resources in the community increase the incidence?

6.  Does parental gene increase the incidence of non-communicable diseases among youths?
