Living Better with a Chronic Illness
Every day, millions of people with chronic conditions struggle to manage their symptoms.

• Nearly 92% of older adults have at least one chronic condition, and 77% have at least two.

• Four chronic conditions—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes—cause almost two thirds of all deaths each year.
• Diabetes affects 12.2 million Americans aged 60+, or 23% of the older population.
• An additional 57 million Americans aged 20+ have pre-diabetes, which increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
• 90% of Americans aged 55+ are at risk for hypertension, or high blood pressure. 77% of women aged 75+ have this condition, as do 64% of men aged 75+.
