$\huge\bold{\underline{\underline{\red{Answer}}}}$

$\bold{\underline{\orange{Chronic\:Diseases}}}$

A disease that persists for a long time. A chronic disease is one lasting 3 months or more, by the definition of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. Chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear. Eighty-eight percent of Americans over 65 years of age have at least one chronic health condition (as of 1998). Health damaging behaviors - particularly tobacco use, lack of physical activity, and poor eating habits - are major contributors to the leading chronic diseases.

$\bold{\underline{\orange{Acute\:Diseases}}}$

Acute diseases tend to have very quick onsets and typically last for only a brief period. By defining a disease as an acute disease, it does not necessarily address the severity of the disease. In fact, it typically only refers to the length of the disease or illness. Acute diseases, as opposed to chronic diseases, include a very rapid onset and/or a short course. Acute diseases can occur throughout all bodily systems. Examples of acute diseases include appendicitis, acute leukemia, and strep throat. Some acute diseases do not require hospitalization or medical treatments, such as influenza, whereas others, such as pneumonia and acute myocardial infarction, may require medical attention and extended treatment.
