Incidence of Chronic Diseases Chronic diseases are non-communicable (not passed from personto-person), typically last for longer than one year, develop slowly over time, require ongoing medical treatment and may limit a person’s ability to perform daily activities. Chronic diseases result from several factors — some known and some unknown, some modifiable and some non-modifiable — such as age. Tobacco use, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and poor nutrition are risk factors for chronic diseases. Poor nutrition can be a result of food insecurity — the lack of access to nutritious foods — and impact a person’s ability to follow healthy eating guidelines. Smoking any substance is a major cause of chronic disease. Meanwhile, alcohol is the leading preventable cause of death, disability and social problems. This includes certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, unintentional injuries and violence.

Level of education also predicts democratic participation and education for future generations.
