Abstract

Chronic diseases are not contagious diseases; rather, they progress slowly and take some time. Unhealthy lifestyles, the environment, and genetics influence the development of chronic diseases. In general, chronic diseases are said to cause mortalities in all ages. The factors that affect chronic diseases and their development may include tobacco and alcohol consumption, unhealthy dietary regimes, such as fast foods, inadequate physical activities, and risk factors such as blood pressure. The impacts of risk factors may differ in both genders and involve different results. Another disease that has affected 64 million people across the world is the obstructive pulmonary disease, caused by air pollution and the presence of hazardous suspended particles in the air, tobacco consumption, etc. Cancer, a chronic disease, is projected to become the deadliest disease worldwide in the next few decades. Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, affects 20% of the global population, which is expected to double by 2030. 

In sum, the higher level of physical activities could significantly reduce the development of diseases both in men and women. Concerning cardiovascular diseases in both men and women, cardiac problems increase with physical activities. Unlike prior studies, an increase in the physical activities of diabetic men did not yield tangible results; as for women, a 17-year survey of Cardio Respiratory Fitness on 6249 women aged 20-79 suggested that the risk of developing T2DM (Type 2 Mellitus Diabetes) in women with above-normal body weights was not significantly lower than their counterparts with natural body weights.  In general, an increased in physical activities is associated with improved blood pressure and serum cholesterol, which together with a healthy life style, are considered for prevention and as a treatment for hypertension development. Our main goal was to investigate the above cases, and to accurately provide details‎.
