Three risk factors – physical inactivity, poor nutrition and tobacco use – lead to four of the leading causes of chronic disease resulting in 80 percent of the deaths in the United States. Increasing physical activity, eating healthy and avoiding tobacco are among the best ways to lower risk for developing chronic diseases and to live healthier, longer. These are the factors Pathways is designed to address.
