 What is chronic disease?

A chronic disease is a long-term medical condition that is characterized by persistent symptoms and a gradual decline in overall health. These conditions typically last for months or years and may be managed rather than cured. Examples of common chronic diseases include heart disease, diabetes, and asthma. They are often caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and can have a significant impact on a person's overall quality of life and ability to function.
