Manuscript Topics
The aging population, combined with numerous economic, social, and environmental factors, are responsible for the increase in chronic diseases on a global scale. In the workplace, the aging of the workforce and the increase in chronic disease carriers lead to an increase in workers with reduced working capacity, who, in the absence of improvements in the working environment, are exposed to increased health and safety risks.
Chronic diseases may be influenced by a combination of genetics, social and lifestyle choices, the health care system, the community, and environmental determinants of health. These risk factors frequently interact and coexist. Macrosocial and macroeconomic forces, including the effects of climate change and migration, are major determinants of population rises in chronic disease mortality.
There are universal approaches to managing and preventing the consequences of chronic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, low-income countries still have the higher burden of chronic diseases than developed countries, and ethnic or racial minorities have higher mortality than other people. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated inequalities.
Effective programs for enhancing primary, secondary, and tertiary illness prevention and management in a variety of worldwide contexts are required to better understand the factors that contribute to chronic disease, such as tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity. Global insights into the prevention and treatment of chronic illnesses, therefore, can assist scholars and professionals in reaping the rewards of common knowledge and experience gained from investigations and treatments carried out across national boundaries. Globally, there are around 7 billion individuals who speak various languages and possess diverse nationalities, identities, and health systems. However, many of the worldwide obstacles to enhancing health and well-being can be mitigated if we pool resources and opportunities for the prevention and management of chronic diseases. This is the aim of this special issue.
This special issue will explore the new challenges of global and local governance frameworks for chronic disease management. Health determinants, prevention, health promotion, early diagnosis, and rehabilitation are aspects that concern these diseases and their impact on public health and healthcare systems. Researchers are invited to submit manuscripts that address these challenges in the form of original research papers, review articles, commentaries, expert opinions, and commentaries. Papers that address the nexus between chronic diseases, prevention and promotion at global and regional levels are particularly welcome.
