Webinar: Experts Weigh In: Fighting Military Obesity in 2024

The United States Armed Forces face an unprecedented challenge as obesity prevalence among service members continues to rise. As combat and incidental injuries become less prevalent year-over-year, rates of obesity-related conditions, including diabetes, osteoarthritis, hypertension, and fatty liver disease, increasingly meet or exceed civilian trends. Unlike in the civilian sector, however, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense are hesitant to recognize and treat obesity as a disease.

Tune in to an upcoming webinar on September 4th, 2024, hosted by the American Security Project, featuring perspectives from Tracy Zvenyach, PhD, MS, RN, OAC Director of Policy Strategy and Alliances. During the webinar, four leading experts from across the national security and obesity care fields will share best practices and critical insights that our armed services can use to fight obesity in 2024.
