Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months depending on the type of diseases.
In other words, chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.
According to the statistics, chronic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, leading to the death of 35 million people in 2005, including many young people and those in middle age.
The most common types of chronic diseases in the Western world are cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels.
Heart disease is a class of diseases associated with interruption of blood flow in the blood vessel or damage of the heart tissue, including coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction.
Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose due to either cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Some researchers also suggested that people with certain medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome. and high blood pressure is more prone to the onset of the disease.
The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are an increased thirst that won't stop with water intake, increased hunger (especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, and unintentional weight loss.
Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.
Potato is the genus Solanum and belongs to the family Solanaceae. The veggie is a good source of protein and according to the statistic, the annual diet of an average global citizen is about 33 kg (72.6 Lbs) of potato. It now is growing worldwide in a suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits, thus its consumption is extremely variable and rapidly changing.
In finding a potential plant for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, researchers evaluated the relation between intake of potatoes and risks of obesity, T2D, and CVD in apparently healthy adults.
According to the search of the databases of MEDLINE, Embase, the Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials involved in the intervention and prospective observational studies identified a total of 13 studies, including 5 studies that were related to obesity, 7 studies that were related to T2D, and one study that was related to CVD,* The association between potatoes (not including french fries) and adiposity was neutral in 2 studies and was positive in 2 studies.
* For T2D, 2 studies showed a positive association, whereas 5 studies showed no or a negative association with intake of potatoes and T2D.
* For CVD, no association was observed.
Most importantly, French fries were positively associated with T2D and obesity in all studies.
Collectively, researchers said, "The identified studies do not provide convincing evidence to suggest an association between intake of potatoes and risks of obesity, T2D, or CVD"
And, "French fries may be associated with increased risks of obesity and T2D".
