Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem about non - infectious diseases, we analyze each blank based on the context and the provided word bank:

1. First blank (noninfectious diseases also called ____ diseases (NCDs))

We know that non - infectious diseases are also known as non - communicable diseases. From the word bank, the word "noncommunicable" fits here.

2. Second blank (usually ____)

Non - infectious diseases are usually chronic (long - lasting). So we choose "chronic" from the word bank.

3. Third blank (tied to risk factors such as genetics, exposure to pollutants and radiation and ____ choices)

Lifestyle choices are a major risk factor for non - infectious diseases. So the word "lifestyle" is the correct choice.

4. Fourth blank (a lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and increase the risk of heart disease, certain cancers and type ____ diabetes)

Type 2 diabetes is associated with lack of physical activity and obesity. So we use "2" here.

5. Fifth blank (poor gut health is a risk factor for diseases such as ____ bowel disease)

Inflammatory bowel disease is a disease related to poor gut health. So "Inflammatory" is the right word.

6. Sixth blank (____ stress is a risk factor related to various NCDs, including autoimmune diseases like arthritis)

Chronic stress is a risk factor for non - infectious diseases. So we choose "Chronic" (note: there is a repeated "chronic" in the word bank, we use it here).

7. Seventh blank (reduce risk by practicing ____ and getting enough sleep)

Practicing mindfulness is a way to reduce stress. So "mindfulness" is the correct word.
