This Special Issue of the GHES Journal aims to highlight the most recent research findings related to this topic. Specifically, the present Special Issue welcomes original or review papers which will focus on demographic, physical, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental and cultural factors and their association with chronic disease, for instance quality of life, mental health, health beliefs or adherence. Chronic diseases include, but are not limited to, type 1 and 2 diabetes, renal disease, pulmonary disease, heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
