What Are Some of the Chronic Diseases that CDPI aims to prevent?  Heart Disease and stroke  Type 2 Diabetes  Cancer- Certain types like breast, prostate, lung & colon cancer.  Kidney disease  Lung disease

How Does CDPI prevent these Chronic Diseases?  By addressing risk factors that we can control or change Physical Activity Healthy Eating Tobacco Use Mental Well- Being We call these risk factors- Pathways Communities design activities and programs that can help people change or improve their health behavior in these areas.

Why are these Risk Factor Areas Important for Chronic Disease prevention? We know that: (CCHS 2007)  64.7 % of people in the Burntwood Region are overweight or obese (vsMb 55.6%, Can 50.8%)  Only 29.4 % of people in Burntwood region consume 5 or more servings of vegetables and fruit every day.(vs Mb 37.2%, Can 43.9%)  35.1% of people in Burntwood Region smoke, (vs 22.5% in Manitoba, Can 22.0%) Even though still quite high, this is a decline in smokers from 43.3% in a big success in the region.

Why are the Risk Factors important?...  Only 25% of people in the Burntwood Region are considered active enough to get the health benefits. (vs 24% Mb, 2008).  53.7% are inactive (vs Mb 51.5%)  Mental Health issues were listed among the most important health issues facing communities in the Burntwood Region (Burntwood Region Community Health Assessment, 2004).

Why are Risk Factors Important?  And one of the most dominant themes from Community Consultations (CHA 2009) was a concern with mental health resources being available at both the acute care and community level.  Burntwood region has the highest suicide rate in the province. (CHA 2009, stats)
