American Summit on Cardiometabolic Disease (ASCMD) 2011 September 30, 2011

The health of Americans is failing, in part, because of modifiable risk factors such as poor nutrition, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. An estimated 47 million U.S residents have cardiometabolic risk which includes one out of ten children ages 12 – 19 and another 81 million have heart disease.
