state and local initiatives to prevent obesity  

Définition

  • In 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established NPAO, a cooperative agreement between the CDC's Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO) and 28 state health departments. NPAO seeks to prevent and control obesity by supporting states in the development and implementation of nutrition and physical activity interventions, particularly through population-based strategies geared toward balancing caloric intake and expenditure, increasing physical activity, increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, decreasing television-viewing time, and increasing breastfeeding.
