What Dr. Rodriguez can say in an interview about
Chronic Disease and the Role of a PCP:
Six in 10 adults in the US have a chronic disease, and four in 10 adults have two or more.(1) These diseases end up costing the US trillions in annual healthcare costs. What exactly are chronic diseases, and is there a way to prevent them?
Chronic diseases are defined as conditions that “last one year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both.”(1) Their symptoms may seem small at first but can quickly escalate quickly if not diagnosed early. There are many different types of chronic diseases, but you’ll most likely hear about the top seven listed below.(2)
The most common chronic diseases
-
- Heart disease
- Lung disease
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Stroke
- Alzheimer’s
Some risk factors for developing these chronic conditions include smoking, drinking alcohol, being physically inactive, and not maintaining good nutrition.(1)
Chronic diseases can be bad news, but the good news is that a direct primary care (DPC) physician can help. Your primary care physician can help identify and treat the 13 most common chronic disease states. If you believe you might have a chronic disease and need help figuring out what the next step is in getting on the road to a happy, healthier you, your primary care physician is the best first line of defense.
