Chronic diseases tend to be long lasting and have persistent effects. They affect people's quality of life and also have social and economic effects. This new web release from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare presents comorbidity data for eight selected chronic diseases. It seems that 1 in 5 Australians have two or more of these diseases:
- arthritis
- asthma
- back problems
- cancer
- COPD
- CVD
- diabetes
- mental health conditions
