General Chronic Disease Prevention – Chronic Disease: any disease that is long lasting or permanent. In practice, chronicity is often defined as an illness episode of 6 weeks’ duration or more, but this is misleading if a prolongued illness of finite duration, such as attack of herpes zoster, is placed in the same category as a long-term disease or disorder that does not eventually resolve or respond to treatment but gets worse, such as chronic bronchitis or multiple sclerosis.
