Chronic Disease and Healthy Lifestyles

Keystone brings together a broad range of sectors, disciplines and perspectives to collaboratively combat the rising incidence of many chronic diseases – e.g., obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. These disease conditions frequently are interrelated and linked to changes in lifestyle in the United States and increasingly around the world. Projects in this area must often consider not only appropriate policies, products, and research agendas, but also effective means of influencing consumer behavior. 

Projects include: 

• The Keystone Food and Nutrition Roundtable
• LiveWell Colorado Strategic Planning 
• Youth Policy Summit on Child and Adolescent Nutrition in America (in partnership with the Keystone Science School)
• The Keystone Forum on Away-from-Home Foods: Opportunities for Preventing Weight Gain and Obesity
• National Osteoporosis Foundation’s (NOF) Corporate Advisory Forum
• Initiative to Eliminate Micronutrient Malnutrition in Asia Through Public-Private Partnership
