Extractions: Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions May 21, 2002 Good morning. I am Dr. William Dietz, Director of the Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I am pleased to be here today to participate in this important discussion of the obesity epidemic. Burden of Obesity The burden placed on our society by obesity and related chronic diseases is enormous. In the last 20 years, obesity rates have increased by more than 60 percent in adults. Since 1980, rates have doubled in children and tripled in adolescents. More than 25 percent of the adult population in the United States is obese, or approximately 50 million adults. Almost 15 percent of our children and adolescents are overweight, or approximately eight million youth. Rates of obesity have increased more rapidly among African Americans and Mexican Americans than among Caucasians. Obesity in the United States is truly epidemic. We have already begun to see the impact of the obesity epidemic on other diseases. For example, type 2 diabetes, a major consequence of obesity, also has increased rapidly over the last 10 years. Although type 2 diabetes was virtually unknown in children and adolescents 10 years ago, it now accounts for almost 50 percent of new cases of diabetes in some communities. Obesity is also a major contributor to heart disease, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Recent estimates suggest that obesity accounts for 300,000 deaths annually, second only to tobacco related deaths.

Extractions: Many families in West Virginia struggle to make ends meet. Public assistance programs help them obtain the necessities until they can support themselves. The Food Stamp program is one such program, providing families with money to buy food. But learning how to put that money to its best use can be difficult. The Families First-Nutrition Education and Wellness Systems (FF-NEWS) program was designed to address this need. FF-NEWS is simultaneously an outreach and an intervention program for participants in the Food Stamp Program's Nutrition Education. Through FF-NEWS, Food Stamp participants learn how to plan, select, and prepare meals consistent with their cultural traditions and family resources, while improving their overall health, and that of their family members. West Virginia State University Extension is the only provider of FF-NEWS in West Virginia. The program is comprised of four distinct modules - Food Preference and Nutrition Knowledge, Health Status and Age-Related Nutrition, Managing Food Dollars, and Food Quality and Safety. Each module is made up of individual lessons, fifty-six in total. The instructional features are varied, and recognize that "not everything works with everyone." The foundation of the FF-NEWS approach is that some of us must see, others must hear, and others must see, hear, and do; still others must interact as they see, hear, and do!

Extractions: COMPETITIVE FOODS Also available as PDF This paper is part of a series of nutrition policy profiles prepared by Prevention Institute for the Center for Health Improvement (CHI). Background The proliferation of competitive foods has raised concern among public health officials, parents, teachers, and others since many of these foods can undermine children's diets and health. National studies have found that 78 percent of high schools, 65 percent of middle schools, and 31 percent of elementary schools offered foods a la carte. A la carte items are foods sold individually by school food service during meal times rather than as part of a complete National School Lunch Program meal. A recent California study found that in 71 percent of surveyed school districts, a la carte items accounted for up to 70 percent of all food sales at schools, with popular items including fast foods such as pizza, cookies, and chips. Unlike the National School Lunch Program, these foods are not required to meet any nutritional standards. The high presence of fast foods as a la carte items is a concern, as they tend to be of limited nutritional value and contain high levels of fat, salt, and sugar.

Extractions: Wellness Matters Site Guide ... Media Kit West Virginias Heart Attack Dr. William Neal West Virginias future will be determined by the health and well being of its citizenry. If we are to thrive in the increasingly competitive global economy, we must have a workforce capable of creativity and productivity, unburdened by the extraordinary cost of chronic disease. We are fighting an uphill battle which will require an informed, concerted effort by the public and private sectors. The challenge is daunting, yet failure is unacceptable. The greatest threat to the public health is our adverse lifestyle. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveys conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention consistently rank West Virginia among the 10 worst states in terms of preventable risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and cancer, not to mention: Worst of all, we are routinely described as one of the most obese states in the nation. If present trends continue, one in three infants born today will develop diabetes. We will continue to experience among the highest rates of death and disability from heart disease in the world. It is highly probable that children born today will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents; a phenomena that has not occurred for hundreds of years.
