Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health
Message from the Chair
It is an exciting time to be involved with the work of the Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health! The work of our council focuses on cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemias, as well as on health behaviors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and substance abuse that contribute to risk factors and the development of cardiovascular disease.
