Understanding Chronic Illness in Older Adults

Chronic illnesses are health conditions that persist for a year or more and require ongoing management. They are especially common among the elderly and often lead to limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs).

Some of the most common chronic illnesses affecting older adults include:

• Diabetes

• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

• Arthritis

• Osteoporosis

• Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

• Parkinson’s Disease

• Cancer

• Kidney Disease

• Stroke (Post-Stroke Recovery)

• Multiple Sclerosis

• Macular Degeneration

• Asthma

• Lupus and other autoimmune diseases

These illnesses can affect every aspect of a senior’s life—from mobility and strength to cognition, mood, and energy levels.
