<unk> s have often been used to describe the various health related states of the human body such as syndromes, physical impairments, disabilities as well as diseases. Epidemiologists have found interest in<unk> s due to the fact they contribute to disease, disability, and diminished physical and/or mental capacity. For example, high blood pressure or hypertension is considered to be not only a<unk>  itself but also correlated to diseases such as heart attack or stroke. Additionally, some socioeconomic factors may be considered as a<unk>  as they lead to disability in daily life. An important one that public health officials in the social science setting have begun highlighting is chronic poverty. Researchers, particularly those studying the United States, utilize the<unk>  Indicator (CCI) which maps ICD codes as "chronic" or non-chronic". The list below includes these<unk> s and diseases: In 2015 the World Health Organization produced a report on non-communicable diseases, citing the four major types as: * Cancers * Cardiovascular diseases, including cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, and ischemic cardiopathy * Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) * Diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2, pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes) Other examples of chronic diseases and health conditions include: * Alzheimer's disease * Atrial fibrillation * Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder * Autoimmune diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, coeliac disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and relapsing polychondritis * Autism or Asperger's Syndrome * Blindness * Cerebral palsy (all types) * Chronic graft-versus-host disease * Chronic hepatitis * Chronic kidney disease * Chronic osteoarticular diseases, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis * Chronic pain syndromes, such as post-vasectomy pain syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome * Dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis * Deafness and hearing impairment * Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (various types) * Endometriosis * Epilepsy * Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder * Fibromyalgia * HIV/AIDS * Hereditary spherocytosis * Huntington's disease * Hypertension * Lyme Disease * Mental illness * Migraines * Multiple sclerosis * Myalgic encephalomyelitis ( chronic fatigue syndrome) * Narcolepsy * Obesity * Osteoporosis * Parkinson's disease * Periodontal disease * Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome * Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome * Sickle cell anemia and other hemoglobin disorders * Substance Abuse Disorders * Sleep apnea * Tick-borne illness * Thyroid disease * Tuberculosis *And many more.
