Statement of National Business Group on Health: Hearing Titled 'Addressing the Health in Health Care: Nutrition, Prevention and Wellness Practices' (PDF)
National Business Group on Health [NBGH] 
[Opinion] Aug. 10, 2009
9 pages. Excerpt: Today's hearing is focused on defining efforts in health care, industry and communities that are effective in addressing the problems of poor nutrition, obesity, and related chronic disease. These are problems affecting every state, including Nebraska. Adult obesity rates continue to rise in 23 states, and have not decreased in any state; Nebraska ranks 20th among states in adult obesity prevalence (Trust for America's Health, 2009). Rates of obesity among children (2 -19) have more than tripled since 1980 and may have leveled off; CDC research reports no statistically significant change between 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 (Ogden et al., 2008).
