Million Hearts: Strategies to Reduce the Prevalence of Leading Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors — United States, 2011
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes one in three (approximately 800,000) deaths reported each year in the United States. Annual direct and overall costs resulting from CVD are estimated at $273 billion and $444 billion, respectively.

To estimate the U.S. prevalence of these three risk factors, CDC analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which indicated that 49.7% of U.S. adults aged ≥20 years (an estimated 107.3 million persons) have at least one of the
three risk factors.
