The Burden of Chronic Diseases and
Their Risk Factors: National and State Perspectives 2004
Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are leading
causes of disability and death in the United States. Every year, chronic
diseases claim the lives of more than 1.7 million Americans. These diseases
are responsible for 7 of every 10 deaths in the United States. Chronic
diseases cause major limitations in daily living for more than 1 of every 10
Americans, or 25 million people. These diseases account for more than 70% of
the $1 trillion spent on health care each year in the United States.

Community Health Promotion Expert Panel Report (PDF-478KB)
This white paper highlights the process through which a group of experts
external to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were
convened to develop recommendations for efforts of the National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) to promote
community health and wellness. The National Expert Panel on Community Health
Promotion developed eight recommendations related to issues on
community-based participatory research and surveillance, training and
capacity building, new approaches for health and wellness, and maximizing
federal investments. These recommendations illustrate the steps needed to
broaden the traditional scope of public health and advance a new vision for
improving community health and wellness.
