Description:Our nation’s obesity problem has no single or simple solution. Obesity is reducing our nation’s ability to have a productive workforce as well as the number of young adults able to take part in the armed forces. Obesity can lead to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight starting at an early age and continuing throughout life.
CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) provides tools and resources to our national, state, and local partners to make healthy living easier for all people. We focus on increasing breastfeeding support; promoting the availability of healthy, affordable foods; and creating safe, easy places where people can be physically active. We educate the public about the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight and monitor key data on how we are doing as a nation.
