Half of all American adults have a chronic disease

7/4/2014

As Americans enjoy the 4th of July this holiday weekend with friends and family, there’s an eye-opening statistic about the health of people living in the United States.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, half of all adults in America have at least one chronic condition such as heart disease, obesity or diabetes. The report published in The Lancet says the majority of these conditions could be prevented by reducing certain risk factors.

Those risk factors include smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, high cholesterol and poorly treated high blood pressure. The CDC report also suggests that chronic diseases are the main causes of poor health, disability and death in the United States.

Chronic diseases also account for most health care spending. At SecondOpinions.com we want to decrease medical costs by preventing unnecessary procedures and surgeries.
