Abstract

Chronic diseases are the major causes of premature death, disability and loss of quality of life in Missouri. The prevalence of many chronic diseases, conditions and risk behaviors is greater in Missouri than the U.S. The medical costs for treating chronic diseases are a burden on the state's economy and will increase as the population ages. Prevention and control of chronic diseases is essential to the physical and economic health of Missourians.

Abstract

Reducing tobacco use among young people is an important public health goal. This article summarizes the results of the analysis of Missouri Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) data collected between 2003 and 2009. The YTS collects information regarding tobacco use and related issues among Missouri public middle and high school students. Downward trends in initiation of tobacco use and current cigarette smoking occurred during this period. However, increased implementation of evidence-based interventions is needed to continue the progress seen during this period.

Subjects
Evidence-Based Medicine, Female, Humans, Incidence, Male, Missouri epidemiology, Neoplasms mortality, United States epidemiology, Black or African American statistics & numerical data, Health Status Disparities, Neoplasms epidemiology, Social Justice, White People statistics & numerical data
Abstract

Eliminating racial disparities in cancer is a key goal of national organizations and those in Missouri. The purpose of this study is to provide trends in cancer incidence (1996-2003) and mortality (1990-2005) over time with special emphasis on disparities between African-Americans and whites in Missouri. Overall changes in incidence rates suggest that by 2006 the racial disparity will be eliminated. However, African-Americans will continue to have higher mortality rates unless more aggressive interventions are implemented.

Abstract

This study used the Smoking-Attributable Mortality, Morbidity and Economic Cost (SAMMEC) software developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess the health consequences and economic burden due to smoking in Missouri. During 2000-2004, cigarette smoking resulted in 9,600 deaths (17.5% of all deaths), 132,103 Years of Potential Life Lost, and $2.4 billion in productivity loss annually in Missouri. These data show that Missouri suffers enormous human and financial losses from smoking.
