Abstract
Globalization and economic progress have been accompanied with an increase in the incidence of lifestyle diseases worldwide. Lifestyle Diseases are a major public health problem globally. According to World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 71% of all deaths globally were attributed to Lifestyle Diseases, a subset of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). A lifestyle disease is linked to the way a person lives. Lifestyle diseases are ailments that are primarily based on the day to day habits of people. Habits that detract people from activity and push them towards a sedentary routine can cause several health issues that lead to chronic non-communicable diseases with life threatening consequences. A primary intent of this article is to educate readers about the risk factors associated with Lifestyle diseases as well as to encourage them to follow a healthy lifestyle in order to reduce the chances of developing a Lifestyle related disease later in their lives.
