Chronic Disease Overview Chronic diseases and conditions—such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis—are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems. 1  As of 2012, about half of all adults—117 million people—had one or more chronic health conditions. Two of these chronic diseases—heart disease and cancer—together accounted for nearly 48% of all deaths. 2  Obesity is a serious health concern. 3  During 2009–2010, more than one-third of adults, or about 78 million people, were obese (defined as body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m2).

Cardiovascular Disease & Diabetes Diabetes is treatable, but even when glucose levels are under control it greatly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. That's because people with diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, often have the following conditions that contribute to their risk for developing cardiovascular disease.1  High blood pressure (hypertension). 2  High blood pressure has long been recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke than adults without diabetes. 2  The American Heart Association considers diabetes to be one of the seven major controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
