Chronic Conditions: Not Your Sentence, Your Way of Life!One in three adults worldwide has multiple chronic conditions, and the number has been steadily increasing during the last decade. A chronic condition is a human health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time. The term chronic is often applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months.
Causes of such conditions may be various, but all of them may be divided into two categories: factors we can influence or the ones that we cannot. Second category includes genetics and climate, anthropogenic factor and general path of industry of the current time. The first one, simply saying, is your way of life. And in all the cases it is much more important, than all the issues we can’t shape ourselves.
As individuals accrue more chronic conditions, health quality outcomes are reduced. The outcomes may include higher mortality rates and poor functional status, comparing with the people with fewer chronic conditions. Unnecessary hospitalizations, adverse drug events, conflicting medical advice, duplicative tests, and more services.
This makes coordination of care more difficult, yet increasingly critical for this heterogeneous population.
However, this all may be shaped in a better way, in case people with such conditions feel more aware and more responsible for their own health. In case they acquire different model of thinking, including proactive approach and making decisions, positively impacting their own health. One of such decisions is to conduct a regular and sustainable health risks monitoring, and to adjust everyday life to its results.
