Taken from "Health promotion activity in primary care: performance of models and
associated factors - William Hogg et al."

Cigarette smoking, excessive use of alcohol, poor diet and lack of physical activity contribute to most of the leading causes of death and disability in Canada.¹ Among Canadians 12 years of age and older, 23% smoke and 21% have alcohol-drinking patterns that can be described as risky.¹ Only 39% adhere to the recommendations concerning fruit and vegetable consumption and half lead a sedentary lifestyle; 59% of Canadian adults are obese or overweight.² The economic burden of lifestyle-related health disorders is substantial. In 2002, $2.3 billion was spent in Canada on health care provision for alcohol-related problems alone.³ Nine percent of total health spending in the United States in 1998 was attributable to overweight and obesity.⁴
