The burden of chronic diseases has been increasing rapidly since a long time now. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases account for about 60% of all deaths. It has been further estimated that the percentage would rise to 73% by 2020. The four most prevalent chronic diseases, namely chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and cancer, are mostly lifestyle associated diseases and can be prevented. Some of the major risk factors for these diseases are excessive tobacco usage, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.
