Abstract: The Burden of Chronic Diseases and Their Risk Factors: National and State Perspectives 2004 provides updated information on the burden of chronic diseases and their risk factors in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, including

  • A national perspective on chronic diseases as major causes of death.
  • State-specific data on rates of death due to heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.
  • Information on the prevalence of the major risk factors for chronic diseases and on the use of preventive services.
  • Profiles of chronic diseases, risk factors, and preventive services in each state.
  • Information on CDC funding to states for programs that target chronic diseases and their risk factors.

This document is intended to aid policy makers, the public health community, and all others interested in addressing the burden of chronic disease in the United States. Another generation of Americans need not suffer unnecessarily or die prematurely when so much is already known about how to prevent disability and death from chronic diseases.
