      Unhealthy behaviors in American adults
    • Corporate Authors:
      Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
    • Description:
      Called also: Unhealthy behaviors in American adults.

      Americans are living longer, but unhealthy behaviors continue to compromise our health.

      • 1 in 4 adults is a current smoker

      • More than one in three adults is obese

      • Only one in five adults meets recommended levels of physical activity

      • Fewer than half of adults with high blood pressure and less than a third of adults with high cholesterol have it under control.

      Small Steps can make a big difference.

      For example, if each American cut back just 100 Calories a day for 3 years, we could prevent over 57 million potentially fatal cases of heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
