| Nearly 7 out of 10
Missourians who die each year will die of a chronic disease.
Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (primarily
heart disease and stroke), diabetes, and cancer, are among the
most common and costly, yet most preventable of all health
problems. Prolonged illness and disability from chronic diseases
such as diabetes, arthritis, and asthma result in a decreased
quality of life for many Missourians. |
