Overall Impact of Chronic Disease in the U.S. By 2030, there will be about 71 million adult baby boomers who will have reached their 65th birthday. At least 80% of older adults (age 65+) have at least one chronic disease; 50% have two. Chronic diseases claim the lives of 1.7 million Americans each year—70% of all deaths. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, COPD, and diabetes account for two-thirds of all deaths.
How do we get there?
Total Health: How Long, How Well We Live ~ 40% ~ 30% ~20% ~10% Behavior: tobacco use, nutrition, Weight, MDD (movement deficit disorder) Genetics Environment/public health Health Care Delivery US Dpt of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service.

CVD and Non-preventable Risk Factors Age- 65 and older Minorities- Blacks, Native Americans Gender- Men in terms of most risk factors; women in terms of stroke and arthritis Persons with a family history of chronic disease (genetics) Young children/adolescents- less physically active today and have higher rates of poor dietary intake; non-preventable because children do not often have control over their own physical activity or dietary intake- parents/other adults do!

CVD and Preventable Risk Factors Smoking/tobacco use Obesity- Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater Overweight- BMI of 25 – 29.9 Poor diet- eating less than five fruits for vegetables per day Sedentary lifestyle- no leisure time physical activity within 30 days High blood pressure and high cholesterol independent risk factors/conditions associated with type-2 diabetes and heart disease And…lack of education on signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke!!
Diabetes as an Independent Risk Factor for CVD Diabetes can lead to: coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people without diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to die from a second heart attack than people with CVD who do not suffer from diabetes. A secondary diagnosis of CVD is found in about 75% of all diabetes-coded deaths. Source:
