Aim For Healthy Living

An estimated 97 million adults in the United States are overweight or obese, a condition that substantially raises their risk of morbidity from hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. Higher body weights are also associated with increases in all causes of death.
