In addition, this study also acts as a catalyst for the future generation in terms of prevention methods and guidelines for a healthier lifestyle. This study used a combination of previous experiments and studies as well as public health disease prevention brochures to determine the optimum study methods. Overall, this study concludes that chronic disease within the aging population is inevitable, however with different ways of prevention methods, such as a regular exercise routine and a healthy eating diet, the probability of a lethal chronic disease can be reduced.
