VIVA – Chronic disease or commonly called chronic disease refers to the condition of human health problems that last for a long time. Chronic disease is triggered by various things and mostly triggered by a sedentary lifestyle (sedentary lifestyle).
A sedentary lifestyle is a habit in the life of a person who does not do much physical activity or does not do much movement. For example, lack of exercise, lying down while doing other activities, sitting too long, and so on.
The emergence of chronic disease can occur suddenly, without realizing it, and will get worse over time. This is different from an acute illness, where a person suffers from an illness in a relatively short time, which is less than 6 months.
