Background— Poor lifestyle behaviors, including suboptimal diet, physical inactivity, and tobacco use, are leading causes of preventable diseases globally. Although even modest population shifts in risk substantially alter health outcomes, the optimal population-level approaches to improve not well established. Methods Results— For this American Heart Association scientific statement, writing group systematically reviewed graded current evidence for effective dietary habits, increase...
The process of atherosclerosis may begin in youth and continue for decades, leading to both nonfatal fatal cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden death. With primordial primary prevention, disease is largely preventable. Clinical trial evidence has shown convincingly that pharmacological treatment risk factors can prevent events. data are less definitive but also highly suggestive appropriate public policy lifestyle interventions aimed at eliminating tobacco...

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have become the primary health concern for most countries around world. Currently, more than 36 million people worldwide die from NCDs each year, accounting 63% of annual global deaths; are preventable. The financial burden is staggering, with an estimated 2010 cost $6.3 trillion (US dollars) that projected to increase $13 by 2030. A number share one or common predisposing risk factors, all related lifestyle some degree: (1) cigarette smoking, (2)...
Large socio-economic disparities exist in US dietary habits and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. While economic incentives have demonstrated success improving choices, the quantitative impact of different policies on CVD is not well established. We aimed to quantify compare potential effects total mortality specific increase fruit vegetable (F&V) consumption reduce sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) US.Using IMPACT Food Policy Model probabilistic sensitivity analyses, we estimated...
Nontraumatic lower-extremity amputation is a devastating complication of peripheral artery disease (PAD) with high mortality and medical expenditure. There are ≈150 000 nontraumatic leg amputations every year in the United States, most cases occur patients diabetes. Among diabetes, after an ≈40% decline between 2000 2009, rate increased by 50% from 2009 to 2015. A number evidence-based diagnostic therapeutic approaches for PAD can reduce risk. However, their implementation adherence...
The advent of new tobacco products such as electronic cigarettes and the dramatic rise in their use, especially by adolescents young adults, are significant public health concerns. Electronic have become most popular for youth United States attracting to avenues nicotine addiction. Although these may benefit helping some smokers quit or move a less harmful product, long-term effects net effect associated with use remain unclear widely debated. There is increasing concern that newer catalyze...

Background Promising school policies to improve children's diets include providing fresh fruits and vegetables (F&V) competitive food restrictions on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), yet the impact of national implementation these in US schools cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk factors outcomes is not known.

Initiatives often require coordination across federal, state, local agencies. To maximize effectiveness all types interventions, it imperative establish strong...
Fiscal interventions are promising strategies to improve diets, reduce cardiovascular disease and diabetes (cardiometabolic diseases; CMD), address health disparities. The aim of this study is estimate the impact specific dietary taxes subsidies on CMD deaths disparities in US. Using nationally representative data, we used a comparative risk assessment model potential effects total price (10%, 30%) fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts/seeds processed meat, unprocessed red meats,...
Background Sodium consumption is a modifiable risk factor for higher blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The US Food Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed voluntary sodium reduction goals targeting processed commercially prepared foods. We aimed to quantify the potential health economic impact of this policy. Methods findings used microsimulation approach close-to-reality synthetic population (US IMPACT Policy Model) estimate CVD deaths cases prevented or postponed,...
