  • Description:
    Chronic diseases are common, costly, and debilitating, but they can often be prevented. By choosing healthy behaviors—like avoiding tobacco, eating healthy food and beverages, and getting regular physical activity—people can reduce their chances of getting a chronic disease or improve their health and quality of life if they already have a chronic disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to prevent chronic diseases and reduce their health and financial costs with an approach that brings together data, communities, and health care systems to support healthy choices and reduce unhealthy behaviors for all Americans.
