About this listen

In this episode, our editor Taissa Vila talks to Dr. Richard Nahin (NIH) and Dr. Anna Zajacova (University of Western Ontario) about their pioneering report on the incidence of chronic diseases and conditions in US adults. The conversation highlights the value of focusing on new cases of noncommunicable diseases rather than just mortality, discusses the role of social and behavioral interventions, examines the impact of ageing on chronic conditions, and considers key questions for future research in public health and epidemiology.
