The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

Chronic diseases

A group of diseases that are mainly caused by lifestyle and environmental factors, have an insidious onset, have a long and protracted course, and lack evidence of a definitive infectious biologic etiology.

Note: Chronic diseases currently in focus include cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and mental health issues.

Behavior and lifestyle factors that can cause a disease to occur or make it more likely to occur.

Note: Chronic diseases-related behavior risk factors mainly include personal behavioral and lifestyle risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, and sleep disorders.

An activity in which there is an increase in the body's energy expenditure due to the contraction of skeletal muscle.

Note: This document categorizes daily physical activity according to its type into occupational physical activity (including household activities), transportation physical activity, and recreational physical activity.

Activities that require moderate physical effort, cause a mild increase in respiration and heart rate compared to the resting state, and usually consume three to six times the energy per minute as in the resting state.

Activities that require greater physical effort, cause a significant increase in respiration and heart rate compared to the resting state, and typically consume more than six times as much energy per minute as the resting state.
