English term or phrase: long term health condition

From a health service leaflet aimed at people with a "long term health condition" such as asthma, diabetes, cancer....

I thibnk a literal trabnslation would be inappropiate here because in this context condition really means problem, but I am wary of translating it as 'problema de salud' because perhaps the aim is to avoid that kind of negative phrasing. Or maybe its the only alternative... what do you think?

Thanks for this popular suggestion! It has been very hard to choose an answer as all suggestions have been useful, and the only ones I really wouldn't use are those including the word 'condición' in Spanish.
