Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have been rapidly increasing globally, negatively affecting countries’ health systems and economies. In the world, NCDs are considered as one of the most important reasons of disability, death and inequality. Therefore, new models need to be developed in the field of health in order to minimize and manage the risk factors of NCDs. The risk factors of NCDs can be successfully combated by developing both national and international policies and strategies. As in the rest of the world, NCDs’ prevalence and risk factors are increasing in Turkey.This review aims to give information about the NCDs in Turkey and explain the risk factors that cause these diseases as well as making recommendations.
