Chronic illnesses\u2014such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer\u2014cause more deaths and disabilities and cost more than other medical conditions. Every year, seven out of 10 deaths can be linked to chronic illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, there could be a way to predict your likelihood of developing a chronic condition in the future. If you and your doctor know you\u2019re more at risk, steps could be taken to prevent or delay the disease from progressing. Ultimately, this could increase your quality of life and reduce costs for you and our nation\u2019s healthcare system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICHRON predicts your risk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers at Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, led by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/intermountainhealthcare.org\/services\/heart-care\/heart-institute\/research-and-clinical-trials\/research-team\/epidemiologists\/heidi-may\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heidi May, Ph.D., MSPH<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, have designed and tested a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/intermountainhealthcare.org\/blogs\/2017\/03\/how-a-routine-blood-test-may-measure-your-future-risk-for-chronic-disease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new clinical tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that they claim can accurately predict a person\u2019s risk of developing a chronic illness. The tool, called the Intermountain Chronic Disease Risk Score (ICHRON), calculates your at-risk score by using data from your personal electronic health record, including information from routine blood tests and your age. This makes it easy to integrate ICHRON as a screening method into your routine medical examinations or appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your ICHRON at-risk score can be used to predict your risk of developing a number of chronic diseases, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/diabetes-medications-treatments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/copd-treatment-and-medications\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kidney failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dementia<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICHRON can also be used to measure your risk of developing several <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/signs-of-heart-problems\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cardiovascular diseases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as peripheral vascular disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart attack, and heart failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accurate predictions empower patients with information<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/intermountainhealthcare.org\/news\/2017\/03\/routine-blood-tests-can-help-measure-patient-future-risk-for-chronic-disease\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the published results of the study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, female patients with moderate ICHRON scores were shown to be three times more likely to develop a chronic illness within the next three years compared to female patients with low ICHRON scores. Women with high ICHRON at-risk scores were 11 times more likely to be diagnosed with a chronic illness within three years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, men with moderate at-risk scores showed a 5.6 times greater likelihood of developing a chronic illness within three years, compared to low-scoring male patients. Men with high ICHRON scores were 14 times more likely to be diagnosed with a chronic illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the research team concluded that ICHRON\u2019s predictions were 77%-78% accurate in predicting which patients are at a higher risk for the development of chronic illnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible benefits of knowing your ICHRON score<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two specific chronic illnesses (heart disease and cancer) cause a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/news\/2018\/05\/01\/cdc-us-deaths-from-heart-disease-cancer-on-the-rise\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">disproportionate number of deaths in the U.S.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The developers of the ICHRON tool hope it will help both you and your doctor make lifestyle and treatment decisions that help postpone or prevent chronic illnesses. If you know your risk, you might be more inspired to live a healthier life or take proactive steps to learn to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/teens-chronic-condition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">manage your illness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevention efforts started early might also make it possible for you to avoid the complications that often occur due to chronic illnesses.
