Kompas, Jakarta - Chronic noncommunicable disease and Mortality in the Southeast Asia region

Economic development of countries and the rise in per capita income among the population trigger the high prevalence of these diseases.

"Chronic non communicable disease is the biggest killer in the world. About 80 percent of deaths from chronic noncommunicable disease  occurs in countries with low income and moderate, "said Kenneth Thorpe, PhD, Executive Director of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, Tuesday (21/06/2011) in Jakarta.

He was a featured speaker at a workshop on "Meeting the Challenge of Chronic Disease" which was attended by about 50 people, consisting of representatives from member countries of ASEAN and international and regional health experts.  In the report the World Health Organization (WHO) is mentioned, the four chronic noncommunicable diseases and most causes of death are cancer, chronic respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. In 2008 recorded 2.7 million people in ASEAN member countries die from this disease four.

Thorpe said the increase in per capita income of the people involved and change your diet. ”. "Those with higher incomes tend to purchase and consume meat, eggs, milk, or fast food compared to the fibrous foods," said Thorpe.

Level of public awareness for healthy living is still very low.. Those who are at risk of chronic disease are the people who smoke, consume alcohol, eat foods low in fiber and high in fat, and less active in physical activities.  They are prone to obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, and high cholesterol levels.

In addition to deaths expected to rise by 21 percent within the next 10 years, chronic noncommunicable disease also causes economic losses of a country.

Economic losses

Research results from Canada's Cameron Institute estimates, Indonesia experiences a loss of 37.2 billion dollars per year as the impact of chronic noncommunicable disease  This was due to increased health care costs and lost productivity of citizens.

Thorpe urged ASEAN countries to immediately implement policies to effectively deal with chronic diseases.

Chairman of the Central Executive Indonesian Doctors Association of Cardiovascular Specialist Anna Ulfah Raharjoe say, countries in Southeast Asiaface a double burden. . At the ASEAN member countries are still struggling to combat infectious disease prevalence was still high, chronic noncommunicable diseases appear as a new problem that threatens public health. "Meanwhile, the budget for health is still far from adequate," he said.
