| | CPSTF Recommendations can Improve Health in People with Disabilities! New Publication! The American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM) published a new report that summarizes how public health recommendations from the Guide to Community Preventive Services can be adapted to better benefit people with disabilities. | Why is this important? One in five adults in the United States have some type of disability (CDC, 2017). Adults with disabilities are more likely to be obese, smoke, have high blood pressure, and be physically inactive than adults without disabilities(CDC, 2017). Increased risk for medical conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers are also more common among adults with disabilities (CDC, 2017). Share this information with others!
