1. Chronic disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured. Three common risk factors associated with many chronic diseases are obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure.2. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. Four types of CVD are coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension.3. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own insulin-producing cells, while type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and often a lack of insulin production. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, while type 2 diabetes is more common in adults but is increasingly being diagnosed in children.4. The most common types of cancer in men are prostate cancer and lung cancer. In women, the most common types are breast cancer and lung cancer.5. Symptoms associated with arthritis include pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints. There are over 100 types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.6. Three risk factors for osteoporosis are aging, low body weight, and low sex hormones.7. Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways in the lungs. When a person has asthma, their airways become inflamed and narrow, making it difficult to breathe.8. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and behavior.9. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
