Abstract
Non-communicable diseases have become a major global health concern, largely due to factors that can be influenced by lifestyle choices. Behaviors such as unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption contribute significantly to the rise of these conditions. Promoting health education plays an important role in addressing this challenge by supporting better understanding, encouraging healthier behaviors, and facilitating early recognition of symptoms. A systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted for studies addressing health education interventions, including formal education, peer-led programs, digital tools, and media campaigns. Both quantitative and qualitative outcomes were considered. A range of strategies, from formal education systems to digital tools and media campaigns, have been used to tackle these issues. Despite these efforts, obstacles remain, including gaps in health infrastructure, cultural norms, and limited access to education. Improving coordination across sectors, ensuring stable resources, and designing approaches that reflect local needs can help ease the burden of these diseases. Moving forward, adapting solutions to different contexts and expanding access to education will be key to improving outcomes.
