The Extent to which Chronic Illness affect Quality of life:

As concerns on longevity augment especially in the last one decade, it is evident that both private individuals and professionals are giving more importance to their quality of life than length of their lives. It is desirable to live long however it also deeply matters how the life has been lived. Such an insight is best understood when analysis on how people with the chronic disease live. Approximately 133 million Americans are estimated to have some form of incurable and ongoing chronic diseases according to Center for disease control and prevention .About 223 thousand American are terminally ill according to the Economist Such groups of individuals are subjected to Palliative care as the only hope for their lives. I will focus on the people who need the Palliative care.

According to OECD, financial security, job satisfaction, family life, health, education, social relation, and housing are vital factors in improving the quality of life. Love, sexual life, and quality food compliment the list. Wealth can improve standard of life but unable to guarantee a better quality of life notably in incurable disease cases.
