TAILIEUCHUNG - IMPROVING WOMEN'S HEALTH IN SOUTH AFRICA

Obesity is a chronic disease, and its consequences include an elevated risk of premature death and a variety of serious health problems such as heart disease, hypertension and stroke, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, and accidents, among others (World Health Organization 1997, 2000a). An estimated 35 million deaths from chronic diseases were expected to occur worldwide in 2005, with 80% of them in low-income and middle-income developing countries. Along with tobacco smoking and physical inactivity, obesity is responsible for many of these deaths among adults aged 30-69 years (Strong et al. 2005). Obesity is also associated with nonfatal but debilitating conditions. | a report of the csis global health policy center Improving Women s Health in South Africa opportunities for pepfar Author Janet Fleischman October 2011 CSIS CENTER FOR STRATEGIC INTERNATIONAL STUDIES a report of the csis global health policy center Improving Women s Health in South Africa opportunities for pepfar Author Janet Fleischman October 2011 CSIS CENTER FOR STRATEGIC INTERNATIONAL STUDIES About CSIS At a time of new global opportunities and challenges the Center for Strategic and International Studies CSIS provides strategic insights and bipartisan policy solutions to decisionmakers in government international institutions the private sector and civil society.
