The History of Chronic Diseases and Industrial Revolution

The current research investigates the historical association between the industrial revolution and an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases. Less time spent being physically active and more calories consumed have been linked to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes. This resulted in obesity, which then contributed to the development of cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. According to the findings of this research, the main characteristics of chronic diseases are linked to the transition to modernity. These shifts in the composition of the community have been observed in more recent times in history. When viewed as a whole, changes in lifestyle are a contributing factor in the problem of rising disease rates and have the potential to be both part of the problem and part of the solution.
