Chronic Disease Management Q & A
What is a chronic disease?
A chronic disease is a condition that continues for an extended period. On the other hand, an acute condition comes on suddenly and is often temporary. Chronic conditions are usually complex cases with multiple contributing factors.
Some chronic diseases cause physical deterioration over time, but chronic disease management helps prevent or slow that process. Chronic conditions often appear later in life after lifelong exposure to risk factors.
What are the risk factors for developing a chronic disease?
One of the risk factors for chronic disease is genetics. If a family member has a condition or you carry certain genes for it, you have a higher likelihood of developing it. Age is also a contributing risk factor. Although some chronic disease risk factors are out of your control, there are several preventable risk factors many chronic diseases have in common:
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
By being aware of risk factors that can make you more predisposed to chronic disease, you can take proactive steps to preserve your health.

How do you manage a chronic disease?
Dr. Rosen’s team is dedicated to keeping you healthy to help you get the most out of life. Anytime you have a concern, you can see them, and they can coordinate your care. Dr. Rosen and his team stay with you throughout your health care journey, getting to know you, and your health personally and becoming your best advocate.
Part of coordinating your care involves regular check-ins to gauge treatment effectiveness and monitor your medications. The staff provides physical exams, labs, and screenings to regularly assess your health.
