7 Itroductio Goveror Rick Syder helped shape the State s visio durig his Health ad Welless Message o September 14, Our visio is for Michigaders to be healthy, productive idividuals, livig i commuities that support health ad welless, with ready access to a affordable, perso-cetered, ad commuity-based system of care. Goveror Syder made reducig obesity a priority, which he has placed o the Michiga Dashboard. I his 2011 ad 2012 State of the State addresses, the Goveror reiterated the importace of persoal resposibility i our quest for healthier idividuals ad commuities. The Michiga 4 x 4 cocept, which he uveiled i his Health ad Welless message this past fall, is oe tool people ca use to attai health. Goveror Syder believes i the power of prevetio ad the impact welless iitiatives ca have o our health as idividuals, commuities, busiesses, ad as a state. The goal of the Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla is for every Michigader to adopt health as a persoal core value. The pla describes the approach that the State of Michiga will udertake i addressig welless ad obesity. Cetral to the pla is the 4 x 4 tool which ca be used to maitai ad/or attai health. The 4 x 4 tool recommeds the practice of four healthy behaviors ad keepig four health measures i cotrol. The four healthy behaviors are: maitai a healthy diet, egage i regular exercise, get a aual physical exam, ad avoid all tobacco use. The four measures are body mass idex (BMI), blood pressure, cholesterol level, ad blood sugar/glucose level. The facts poit to Michiga havig a public health crisis whe it comes to obesity ad chroic illesses. Thirty-two percet of adults are obese (BMI greater tha 30) ad 17 percet of youth are obese. Obesity is the root cause of most chroic illesses. Therefore, the Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla focuses much of its efforts o addressig obesity. Addressig obesity will help Michigaders cotrol blood pressure, cholesterol ad blood sugar/glucose levels which altogether will greatly reduce chroic illesses i our populatio. Implemetatio of this pla will require a collaborative approach amog state, tribal ad local govermets; busiesses, idustry ad other private sector parters; schools ad commuity orgaizatios; ad idividuals ad families. Through these parterships we ca improve health by creatig healthy commuities, expadig prevetio activities ad empowerig people to make healthy choices ad adopt health as a persoal core value. The pla uses priciples from the social ecological model where itervetios for idividuals ad the eviromet are used. Strategies i the pla iclude: a multimedia campaig, deploymet of coalitios, ad exteral parterships to help the coalitios implemet the pla. The Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla Jue

8 Ackowledgemets Over the past several moths, we have worked with a group of experts from the Uiversity of Michiga, Michiga State Uiversity, ad Waye State Uiversity, as well as a Obesity Steerig Committee comprised of experts to idetify strategies to address this issue. I September 2011, the Michiga Departmet of Commuity Health (MDCH) held a Obesity Summit atteded by early 500 participats from aroud the state to idetify key priority strategies that we should implemet i Michiga. This pla was developed with the iput ad guidace of umerous commuity, healthcare, busiess, educatio, ad academic experts across the state. Special recogitio goes to these experts, as well as staff from MDCH for sharig their kowledge, time ad experiece to develop a pla that, if adopted, will result i the reductio of obesity ad a healthier Michiga. We are grateful for everyoe s passio ad commitmet to advace this importat issue, ad to help Michiga residets achieve a healthier lifestyle. 2 The Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla Jue 2012

9 Public Health Crisis - A Call to Actio Michiga has a public health crisis. I 1995, 18% of the adult populatio was obese. By 2010, the obesity prevalece i our populatio had icreased to 32%. If the tide is ot chaged, the percet of obesity i our populatio will reach 50% by Obesity is a root cause of most chroic illesses. Therefore, it is the role ad obligatio of Public Health to iform ad educate Michigaders about this threat to their health just as it does whe there is a threat of pademics ad epidemics. The Problem: A Public Health Crisis (>18 years of age) Obese: BMI >30 Overweight: BMI >25 <29.9 Not Obese or Overweight: BMI <24.9 Source: BRFSS Survey, 2011 The cosequeces of obesity are Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, stroke, ad demetia. Curretly i Michiga, 2.5 millio adults ad 400,000 childre are obese, may of whom already show sigs of chroic illesses. Uecessary sufferig is beig caused by obesity, which is maily drive by sedetary lifestyles ad uhealthy eatig habits. Impact o Michiga s people ad its ecoomy Lead to chroic illesses: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis stroke, cacers, demetia. 2.5 Millio Obese adults Uecessary sufferig ad uecessary health care expeditures i billios.4 Millio Obese Childre Accordig to the CDC, 75% of total health care expeditures are associated with treatig chroic diseases. If Michigaders reduce their BMI rates to lower levels ad achieve a improved status of health, the state could save over $13 billio aually i uecessary health care costs. By 2018 $12.5 B Results i lack of productivity ad precludes ivestmet i more productive areas. Note: Per CDC 75% of $2.2 Trillio U.S. health care spedig goes to treat chroic coditios.

10 Compoets of the 4 x 4 Tool Prevetig or maagig chroic diseases is the top health challege of the 21st cetury. Seve out of 10 deaths each year are from chroic diseases. More tha 75% of healthcare spedig (i Michiga ad the U.S.) is for people with chroic diseases icludig heart disease, stroke, cacer, diabetes, kidey disease, ad demetia. Leadig a healthy lifestyle ca greatly reduce the risk of developig chroic diseases. Two-thirds of premature deaths i the U.S. are due to poor utritio, lack of physical activity, ad tobacco use. Prevetio measures such as appropriate screeig ad cotrol of risk factors are importat steps to save lives, reduce disability, ad lower healthcare costs. PRACTICE FOUR KEY HEALTHY BEHAVIORS 4 1. Maitai a Healthy Diet Research shows that healthy eatig cotributes greatly to oe s overall health, as well as maitaiig a healthy body weight. As described i the Dietary Guidelies for Americas, eatig healthy meas cosumig a variety of utritious foods ad beverages. The guidelies iclude vegetables, fruits, low- ad fat-free dairy products ad whole grais. The guidelies also iclude limitig itake of saturated fats, added sugars, ad sodium; keepig tras-fat itake as low as possible; ad balacig caloric itake with calories bured to maage body weight. 2. Egage i Regular Exercise Reductio of sedetary lifestyle ad icreased regular physical activity are importat cotributors to health. Regular physical activity helps to achieve ad maitai a healthy weight while cotributig to the health of boes, joits, ad muscles. It ca also reduce feeligs of axiety ad depressio. Eve though the beefits of physical activity are apparet, less tha half of adults i Michiga egage i physical activity regularly at least 150 miutes (2.5 hours) of moderate itesity physical activity a week, such as brisk walkig, bikig or swimmig. Childre ad adolescets should get 60 miutes of physical activity per day. The America Academy of Pediatrics also recommeds less tha 2 hours of media time per day (televisio, computer, movies, ad video games). 3. Get a Aual Physical Examiatio Receivig a aual physical is a good way to remai proactive about oe s health ad welless. There are may beefits to havig a aual physical exam, icludig earlier diagosis ad treatmet of existig health issues ad prevetio of future problems. Regular physical exams also provide a variety of screeigs depedet o age, health ad family history ad lifestyle choices. By gettig the right health services, screeigs, ad treatmets, Michigaders icrease their chaces for livig loger ad healthier lives. Idividuals also should discuss with their health professioal the status of their four health measures (BMI, cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure) ad develop goals for maitaiig or attaiig desired levels for each measure. 4. Avoid All Tobacco Use ad Exposure Tobacco use is the leadig cause of premature ad prevetable death i the Uited States. Avoidig all tobacco use, which icludes cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipes ad hookahs, ad elimiatig exposure to secodhad smoke, ca greatly reduce the risk of developig heart disease, cacers, pulmoary disease, periodotal disease, asthma ad other diseases. While Michiga has decreased smokig i the populatio over the last 50 years from 46% to 18%, we still have 15,000 aual deaths related to smokig. The Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla Jue 2012

11 KNOW YOUR FOUR KEY HEALTH MEASURES 1. Body Mass Idex (BMI) BMI, or Body Mass Idex, is a measure of body fat based o height ad weight. A healthy adult BMI falls withi a rage of A BMI betwee 25 ad 29.9 is cosidered overweight. Those with a BMI of 30 or greater are classified as obese. Maitaiig a BMI withi the healthy rage ca reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose ad lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, cacer, diabetes ad kidey disease. BMI values for childre are expressed i percetiles to cotrol for differeces i body sizes due to geder ad age. The percetile idicates the relative positio of the child s BMI umber amog childre of the same geder ad age. A child with a BMI percetile betwee 5% ad 84% is cosidered to be at a healthy weight; 85% - 94% is cosidered overweight ad above the 95th percetile is cosidered obese. Lowerig BMI ca have dramatic health beefits icludig reducig risk of developig Type 2 diabetes by more tha 50% ad substatially reducig the risk of heart disease ad cacer if moderate reductio of BMI (5 to 10%) is achieved. 2. Blood Pressure Healthy blood pressure is a key to heart health. Ucotrolled high blood pressure icreases your risk of heart attack, stroke ad kidey disease. A blood pressure of less tha 120/80 is cosidered healthy or ormal. A blood pressure betwee /80-89 is cosidered prehypertesio ; ad a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is cosidered hypertesio. 3. Cholesterol Level High cholesterol is a direct cotributor to cardiovascular disease, which ca lead to stroke ad heart attacks. To decrease risk for cardiovascular disease total blood cholesterol should be kept below 200. A blood cholesterol level of is cosidered mildly high, while a blood cholesterol level of 240 or greater is cosidered high. 4. Blood Glucose Level Blood glucose levels measure the amout of a type of glucose i your blood. It is importat to kow this measure because icreased blood glucose levels ca be a predictor of diabetes. Fastig blood glucose levels should be below 100mg/dl. The Michiga Health ad Welless 4 x 4 Pla Jue
