Weight Management
Maintaining a healthy weight has considerable benefits for both short- and long-term health. Both overweight and underweight can impact everything from organ function to blood pressure to bone density. For Veterans, challenges to maintaining a healthy weight can range from stress and mental health challenges, which can contribute to eating disorders and underweight; to taking certain medications, which can contribute to overweight. VA research into healthy weight management covers all aspects of general health to implementation of policies designed to help Veterans’ stay more physically fit.
