A decrease in chronic disease and an increase in healthy lifestyle behaviors is essential to a healthy community. Chronic disease and a healthy lifestyle can often be viewed as having an inverse relationship and the rise of healthy lifestyle education and application within a community could result in a decrease of chronic disease (obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer). Results from the Community Health Survey demonstrated that chronic disease continues to be a top priority among survey respondents. Results from the CHA also indicated a need for improvement when compared to the state and national benchmarks in chronic diseases and healthy behaviors. Both Macomb County residents and supporting data confirms that chronic disease and a healthy lifestyle continue to be a major health concern for Macomb County.
