Students are one of the vulnerable populations affected by NCDs. Lack of awareness and willingness of students to live healthy and check their health, puts students at risk for health problems such as obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Promotive and preventive activities for students related to NCD are better than curative and rehabilitative activities.
