A non-infectious disease or a non-communicable disease (NCD) is a disease that is not transmissible directly from a person to another person. The non–infectious diseases are like Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, strokes, most heart diseases, most cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataract, and others. NCDs might be both chronic or acute. Most are non-infectious, although there are some non-communicable infectious diseases, such as parasitic diseases in which the parasite's life cycle does not include direct host-to-host transmission.
