Our Work With fiscal year (FY) 2008 funding of 38 million, CDC''s DNPAO is working to reduce obesity and obesity-related diseases. This is done through state programs, research, surveillance, training, intervention development and evaluation, leadership, policy and environmental change, communication and social marketing, and partnership development. See At A Glance 2009 for more. Supporting State Programs The Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Program (NPAO) is a cooperative agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention''s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity (DNPAO) and 23 state health departments.

Increase breastfeeding initiation, duration and exclusivity. 5. Reduce the consumption of high energy dense foods. 6. Decrease television viewing.
