Deep dives
The Epidemic of Childhood Chronic Disease
Over half of American children are reported to have at least one chronic health condition, a statistic that has likely worsened since the last broad assessment in 2011. This rapid increase in illnesses mirrors a troubling trend, escalating from just 2% of children affected in the 1960s to the current estimates suggesting even higher rates today. Many children exhibit symptoms that fall below the threshold for a formal diagnosis, such as behavioral or gastrointestinal issues, contributing to an even larger pool of affected youth. This highlights the urgent need for rigorous research to determine how many children can be classified as truly healthy.
