Preventing Chronic Disease | Rationale for New York City'sRegulations on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Screen Time inEarly Child Care Centers - CDC

policy children CDC obesity physical activity Preventing Chronic Disease PCD beverages Regulations screen time

Childhood obesity is associated with health risks in childhood, and it increases the risk of adult obesity, which is associated with many chronic diseases. Therefore, implementing policies that may prevent obesity at young ages is important. In 2007, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene implemented new regulations for early childhood centers to increase physical activity, limit screen time, and provide healthful beverage offerings (ie, restrict sugar-sweetened beverages for all children, restrict whole milk for those older than 2 years, restrict juice to beverages that are 100% juice and limit serving of juice to only 6 ounces per day, and make water available and accessible at all times). This article explains why these amendments to the Health Code were created, how information about these changes was disseminated, and what training programs were used to help ensure implementation, particularly in high-need neighborhoods.

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a way for two computer applications to talk to each other in a common language that they both understand. HHS's API provides a structured way to get HHS content in a predictable, flexible and powerful format.
