American Heart Association
The association's impact goal is to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke and risk by 25 percent by 2010. Progress toward the impact goal will be measured based on these indicators:
• Reduce the death rate from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25 percent,
• Reduce the prevalence of smoking, high blood cholesterol and physical inactivity by 25 percent,
• Reduce the rate of uncontrolled high blood pressure by 25 percent, and
• Eliminate the growth of obesity and diabetes.
Almost half of all uninsured young adults with a chronic condition reported that their condition worsened during the previous 12 months due to lack of care.
