Chronic diseases: Chronic disease is a disease that persists over a long period of time. Chronic disease can hinder independence and the health of people with disabilities, as it may create additional activity limitations.
People with chronic disease often think that they are free from the disease when they have no symptoms.
Having no symptoms, however, does not necessarily mean that chronic disease has disappeared. The good news is that chronic disease can be prevented or controlled through
1) regular participation in physical activity,
2) eating healthy,
3) not smoking, and
4) avoiding excessive alcohol consumption. Listed below are examples of common chronic diseases and their early signs.
Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last 1 year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both.
Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.
They are also leading drivers of the nation’s $3.8 trillion in annual health care costs.
