Situation:

The obesity epidemic threatens the quality and years of life of Kentuckians. Obesity has important consequences on the health and economy of our county. Obesity is linked to many chronic health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. Kentucky ranks 29th in consumption of fruits and vegetables among states. Kentucky youth rank among the ten highest for obesity. In Lincoln County, 39% of adults reported no physical activity during the last month. Only around 14% of adults reported eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Many chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, are also prevalent in Lincoln County. As a result, Lincoln County residents have an increased risk of premature death (or loss of years of potential life prior to age 75). Increased consumption of unhealthy food, stress, and built environments that promote physical inactivity are largely responsible for the obesity epidemic. As a result, Kentuckians are dying from heart disease and cancer at higher rates than other Americans.

People are living longer. Kentucky’s current population of seniors (65+) is 16.4% (2019 Census Data). As the largest and fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, older adults influence everything from consumer behavior to health-care costs (U.S. Census)

The recent statewide needs assessment identified substance use prevention and recovery as the most urgent priority for Cooperative Extension.? Moreover, substance use was the focal point of the CES Advisory Council Meeting in early 2019.? Taken together, youth KIP survey data and data from the CES needs assessment demonstrate the need to address substance use prevention, recovery, stigma, and impact on families and communities.
