Physical inactivity and poor nutrition are the major underlying cause of chronic diseases. Engaging in healthy behaviours greatly reduces the risk for illness and death due to chronic diseases. Cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are the leading causes of preventable death and disability. You can dramatically reduce your risk of these chronic diseases (long-term or ongoing illnesses) by changing the way you live. Each of these chronic diseases share mutual risk factors that relate to your everyday choices and personal health habits. For instance, an unhealthy diet can lead to obesity, which is a risk factor for certain cancers, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
The following links provide information and resources about chronic diseases and health risk factors addressed by CDC’s Healthy Communities Program:
