Extractions: Between 1987 and 2000, obesity reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with more than 45 million adults classified as obese. In Colorado, adult obesity (body mass index [BMI] 30) rates increased from 6.9% in 1990 to 14.9% in 2001; the prevalence of overweight (BMI 25) among adults also rose from 36.7% to 51.6% during those years. Evidence That Prevention Works Research has demonstrated that preventive measures such as improved nutrition, tobacco cessation, increased physical activity, and early detection and intervention may prevent heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases. Physical activity helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles, and joints; reduces falls among the elderly; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis; reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and is associated with fewer hospitalizations, physician visits, and medications. Program Example Through a partnership with the University of Colorado Health Sciences, the Colorado Physical Activity and Nutrition Program is implementing two community interventions in Peetz, Colorado, which has a large rural population, and in the Denver Metro Black Churches, which allows program coordinators to work in an already established urban and African American setting to reach high-risk populations. These interventions focus on a physical activity component to encourage participants to walk 2,000 steps a day more than they walked before the program. Pedometers are offered to assist participants in their efforts. Additional worksites and community sites throughout the state are also participating. The intervention will introduce a nutrition component as well, most likely promoting a 5 A Day campaign. The program has been named

The study, State-Level Estimates of Annual Medical Expenditures Attributable to Obesity , was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control to estimate the state-by-state costs of obesity, separate from costs incurred from those related to overweight, which cumatively amounts to $93 billion. Several state legislators have been confronted with concrete numbers of how much obesity has affected their states in terms of health care costs, from $87 million in Wyoming to $7.7 billion in California. These numbers may be used by lawmakers to justify obesity related legislation touching on snack taxes, physical education standards and vending machine restrictions.

Extractions: South Carolina Department of Social Services piloted the SFMNP through the Councils on Aging in 13 counties. The program was effective May 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001. Fifteen thousand eligible seniors were given $50 in vouchers (5 vouchers worth $10 each). Seniors registered for the program at a variety of sites, including Council on Aging sites, community centers, and churches. Farmers were not permitted to make change for the vouchers, and some seniors could not spend the entire voucher with one vendor. Nearly all participants reported that the nutrition information given with the vouchers was helpful. Despite being provided with nutrition information, most seniors did not purchase a fruit or vegetable that they had never tried before. The most frequently cited barriers to not wanting to attend nutrition classes were a lack of available transportation and poor health.
