Chronic disease risk factors

Another useful web report from the AIHW presents the relationship between selected chronic diseases and behavioural and biomedical risk factors. Behavioural risk factors include poor diet, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Biomedical risk factors include obesity and high blood pressure. Many chronic diseases have common behavioural and biomedical risk factors, so modifying these can reduce an individual's risk of developing a chronic disease.
