The obesity rate among Michigan adults increased by 80% from 1990 to 2002. (CDC BRFSS, 2002)
24% of Michigan high school students are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. (CDC YRBSS, 2001)

Program Priorities
The Michigan Healthy Lifestyles Initiative (HLI) was funded by CDC under the 00099 cooperative agreement authorization for two years, beginning in 2001. The primary focus of that initiative was on preventing obesity and other chronic diseases in African American women. The plan that was developed will provide the model for a comprehensive state plan for obesity prevention and control through improved nutrition and increased physical activity.
