Communicable diseases are illnesses caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that can be spread directly or indirectly from person to person. Examples of communicable diseases include:
1. Influenza (flu)
2. Tuberculosis (TB)
3. HIV/AIDS
4. Hepatitis
5. Malaria
6. COVID-19
Non-communicable diseases, on the other hand, are chronic conditions that are not caused by infectious agents and cannot be spread from person to person. These diseases are often linked to lifestyle factors such as diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Examples of non-communicable diseases include:
1. Heart disease
2. Diabetes
3. Cancer
4. Chronic respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma, COPD)
5. Obesity
6. Alzheimer's disease
It is important to note that while communicable diseases can be prevented through measures such as vaccination and good hygiene practices, non-communicable diseases are often preventable through lifestyle changes and regular medical check-ups.
