“Nutrition and weight: sedentary lifestyle, overweight and obesity, and smoking are risk factors for most of the chronic diseases. Reported in maine health report, maine's adult obesity rates have nearly doubled in the past 16 years. Data sources vary slightly source to source, but the take home message is mainers and americans are trending to the overweight and obesity ranges. According to the cdc data, the county's obesity rate (bmi >30)doubled in just ten years from 2003 - 2013 and is still on the increase. Note: the cdc sources have cautioned that changes have been made in an effort to improve the behavioral risk factor surveillance system that affect the obesity prevalence estimates and therefore data collected for 2010 and prior can not be compared to later data. Cardiovascular health cardiovascular disease refers to a group of diseases and conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. According to the maine cardiovascular health and diabetes plan (2011 - 2020) heart disease is the 2nd leading cause of death in maine with stroke the 4th leading cause of death. Risks of heart disease and stroke are 2-4 times greater in people with diabetes. According to the cdc, about 1 of 3 u.s. Adults-or about 70 million people-have high blood pressure. Only about half (52%) of these people have their high blood pressure under control. This common condition increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, 2nd of the leading causes of death for americans. In looking at the data from 2003 to 2013, there has been no change in those being told they have high cholesterol. It remains at 32%. Respiratory health / pulmonary disease respiratory health includes diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and asthma. As with other chronic diseases, risk factors include smoking and sedentary lifestyle. In addition, exposure to noxious particles or gases, recurrent infections, genetic factors and diet may be additional risk factors for copd. Respiratory health includes diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), pneumonia and asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the lungs and airways. There is no cure but it can be controlled. According to the maine center for disease control and prevention, in 2010 one in 15 (6.5%) of children under the age of 18 in have asthma and one in 10 (10.8%) adults have asthma in central district (somerset and kennebec counties. Asthma accounted for > 100 ed visits and for > 100 hospitalizations. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. According to national institute of health (2010), copd is the 3rd leading cause of death in the united states, is responsible for 1.5 million ed visits and 726,000 hospitalizations per year across the us and has a cost (direct and indirect) of an estimated $49.9 billion. Copd is a disease that is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. Most people with copd can achieve good symptom control and quality of life with proper management, as well as reduced risk of other associated conditions. The most current data in somerset county available is from 2010 and is 7.9%. The central district improvement plan of 2010 called for reducing the current rate of admissions for copd from 181 / 1000,000 in kennebec and somerset counties combined to 91 (a 50% reduction) in the hopes of saving an estimated $1,153,255 by 2015.
