Chronic Disease is recognised as the greatest contributor to illness and death worldwide, contributing to 60% of deaths worldwide in 2005, and projected to increase by 17% over the next 10 years (whilst deaths from infectious disease, maternal & perinatal conditions and nutritional deficiencies are projected to decline by 3% over the same period) (PWC/World Economic Forum)
Fatigue and its associated conditions – anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, chronic low grade pain – are the most widely reported contributors to loss of productivity in the workplace (and by extension in personal & family life) (PWC/World Economic Forum)
