disparities in chronic disease management

Disparities in chronic disease management mean that some groups of people don’t receive the same quality or level of care for conditions like diabetes or heart disease. Factors such as income, education, living environment, and access to healthcare can influence treatment options, disease monitoring, and support. This can lead to worse health outcomes for underserved populations, making it harder for them to manage their conditions effectively and avoid complications. Addressing these disparities requires ensuring equitable access to healthcare, education, and resources for all individuals, regardless of their background.
