Abstract
The abstract provides a comprehensive overview of the global prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their impact on public health, emphasizing their leading role in morbidity and mortality worldwide. It highlights the specific burden of Ischaemic heart diseases, cancers, and diabetes, with a significant portion of premature deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Transitioning to Sri Lanka, the abstract underscores the country's shift towards NCDs as the primary health concern, attributing over 80% of premature deaths to these diseases. The narrative emphasizes the influence of rapid lifestyle changes and socio-economic development on the rise of NCDs in Sri Lanka and emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive research to understand trends, patterns, and contributing factors for effective preventive measures.
