Abstract

The rise in the prevalence of lifestyle illnesses around the globe has coincided with the process of globalisation and the advancement of economic development. The worldwide epidemic of lifestyle diseases is a significant threat to public health. Acc. to the WHO, lifestyle illnesses, which are a subgroup of non-communicable diseases, are responsible for almost 71 percent of all fatalities that occur throughout the globe (NCDs). A lifestyle sickness is a condition that is caused by the way a person spends their life. Lifestyle illnesses are conditions that are caused, in large part, by the actions and behaviours that individuals engage in on a regular basis. Multiple health concerns, including chronic non-communicable diseases that may be lifethreatening if left untreated, can be caused by sedentary activities. This article aims to enlighten readers on lifestyle-related illness risk factors and urge them to adopt a healthy lifestyle to reduce their chance of developing a lifestyle-related disease later in life.
