Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States, and they are responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths each year. Some of the most common chronic health conditions in the US include:

  • Heart disease
  • Cancer
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Diabetes
  • Stroke
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver disease
  • Hypertension
  • Asthma

These conditions can have a major impact on individuals and society as a whole, both in terms of quality of life and healthcare costs. Many of these conditions are preventable, and lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and not smoking can significantly reduce the risk of developing them.
