A BILL
To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for

toward the goal of significantly reducing the number
of cases of overweight and obesity among individuals
in the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Lifelong Improvements
in Food and Exercise (LIFE) Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Obesity has increased by more than 50 per-
cent among adults and 100 percent among children
and adolescents in just the past 15 years.
(2) Fifty percent of women over 20 are over-
weight.
(3) Obesity is associated with many of the lead-
ing causes of death and disability, including heart
disease, diabetes, certain forms of arthritis and can-
cer.
(4) The rising rates of obesity portend greater
disease, disability and early death, and concomitant
rises in health care costs and lost wages and produc-
tivity.
(5) Overweight among women is significantly
outstripping overweight among men, and the prob-
lem is getting worse decade by decade.
(6) Almost 25 percent of young people, ages 6-
17, are overweight and the percentage who are seri-
ously overweight has doubled in the last 30 years.
(7) One third of young people ages 12-21 do
not regularly engage in physical exercise.
(8) Part of the reason for youth inactivity is the
reduction in daily participation in high school phys-
ical education classes from 42 percent in 1991 to 27
percent in 1997.
‘‘(1) Activities to train health professionals to
recognize that patients are overweight and to rec-
ommend prevention activities regarding such condi-
tion, including educating patients on the relationship
between such condition and cardiovascular disease,
diabetes and other health conditions, and on proper
nutrition and regular physical activities.
‘‘(2) Activities to educate the public with re-
spect to the condition of being overweight, including
the development of a strategy for a public awareness
campaign.
‘‘(3) The development and demonstration of
intervention strategies for use at worksites and in
community settings such as hospitals and commu-
nity health centers.
‘‘(c) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—For the
purpose of carrying out this section, there are authorized
to be appropriated $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2000, and
such sums as may be necessary for each of the fiscal years
2001 through 2004.’’.
