ASSESSMENT OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE RISK FACTORS AMONG EDUCATORS DURING THE STAGE OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
It is known that 75% of global mortality cases are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which include cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, endocrine, and oncological pathologies [1]. Global risk factors for NCD mortality include: low physical activity, obesity and overweight, alcohol and tobacco consumption, as well as elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels [2]. The causes of these factors depend on both socio-economic and environmental conditions, as well as individual behavior [3]. Consequently, health promotion and NCD prevention require monitoring of factors considering various target groups, particularly among educators at the stage of professional development.
