Overview 

Global Health Management Journal (GHMJ) invites authors, practitioners, and communities to submit Original Research, Reviews, Case Studies, Perspectives, and Photo Essays for our October 2025 Special Issue.

This issue will focus on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as osteoporosis, stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. While older persons carry the heaviest burden, NCDs affect all age groups, making them a critical global health challenge that demands multi-level strategies and cross-generational perspectives.

Why This Topic Matters
  • Global Impact: NCDs account for over 70% of global deaths annually, with disproportionate effects in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Beyond Aging: Though often associated with older adults, NCDs can begin early in life, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, social determinants, and environment.
  • Policy & Practice: Addressing NCDs requires strong health systems, community-based approaches, and innovative technologies that ensure prevention, care, and healthy aging for all.

This Special Issue will bring together diverse perspectives to inform practice, shape policy, and inspire action across generations.

Suggested Topics
  • Osteoporosis, stroke, and other age-associated diseases
  • Prevention and management of NCDs in children, youth, adults, and elderly
  • Lifestyle, nutrition, and behavioral determinants of NCDs
  • Digital health, AI, and innovative monitoring tools
  • Health system responses and policy frameworks for chronic disease care
  • Socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental influences on NCD burden
  • Community, peer, and family support in NCD prevention
  • Intersections between NCDs and mental health or well-being
  • Case studies and lessons learned from practice, policy, and interventions
