Statement: “The lives of far too many people in the world are being blighted and cut short by chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. This is no longer only happening in high income countries. Four out of five chronic disease deaths today are in low and middle income countries. People in these countries tend to develop diseases at younger ages, suffer longer – often with preventable complications – and die sooner than those in high income countries.” (WHO, 2005) Assessment: For this assessment, you are to write a 750-1000 word submission demonstrating your knowledge of the context for chronic disease. Sub-headings may be used. Your submission must address the following: • Describe the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other models of chronic disease • Discuss Australian health priorities for chronic disease • Analyse the continuum of chronic disease • Identify Life variables that have an impact on health and well-being • Discuss the impacts of chronic disease: social, emotional, physical, psychological and financial.
