"Noncommunicable" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are medical conditions that are not caused by infectious agents or parasites. They are often long-term and chronic, and are typically caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Examples of noncommunicable diseases include:
Heart disease
Stroke
Cancer
Diabetes
Chronic respiratory diseases
Chronic kidney disease
Unlike communicable diseases, which are caused by infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites, noncommunicable diseases are not typically spread from person to person. Instead, they are often the result of a complex interplay between individual behaviors, environmental factors, and socioeconomic conditions. Noncommunicable diseases are a major public health concern, accounting for more than 70% of all deaths worldwide.

The word can also describe a lack of enthusiasm or effort, as if someone is going through the motions but not really invested or interested.
