Chronic Disease Prevention
Chronic diseases and conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and arthritis, are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems. Much of the chronic disease burden is attributable to a short list of key risk factors:
- Lack of physical activity
- Lack of consumption of fruits and vegetables
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Pre-diabetes
- Alcohol consumption
- Tobacco use
