  • Description:
    The nation’s armed forces depend on men and women who are fit, healthy, and able to perform at their peak on or off the battlefield. But active duty military members (service members) and potential recruits are not immune to the health problems that affect the rest of the US population, and the impact on military readiness is substantial.

    Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes are the leading contributors to death, disability, and health care costs in the United States.

    These behaviors often start in youth and become more common and serious as people enter young adulthood. CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion funds programs to prevent or reduce these behaviors, starting in childhood, and works with the US Department of Defense (DOD) on projects to improve military health.
