Chronic Disease in Texas - A Surveillance Report of Disease Indicators
(1.22 mb) Publication Number: E81-11194
Chronic disease conditions are the major cause of illness, disability, and death in Texas as well as in the United States today.  Despite broad public awareness of specific life-threatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease, most people are still not aware that, collectively, chronic diseases account for three out of every four deaths in Texas and the United States.  The content of this report provides information on preventable deaths, risk factors and trends over time.  Data from this report may also contribute to the planning and implementation of programs that will improve the health of all Texans.
