Healthy People 2020 objectives related to cancer risk factors are
illustrated. Healthy People 2020 targets are indicated by black dotted lines.
The baseline value is indicated as a white circle, and the most recent estimate
is indicated as a green circle if the target was met and as a red circle if the
target was not met. The percentage change from the baseline value to the most
recent estimate is indicated as a green bar if the percentage improvement target
was met (or if the percentage change was in the indicated direction when a
percentage improvement target was not specified) and as a red bar if the
percentage improvement target was not met (or if the percentage change was not
in the indicated direction when a percentage improvement target was not
specified). The Healthy People 2020 targets are: (A) reduce adult cigarette
smoking prevalence from 20.6% in 2008 to 12.0% in 2020 (data are from the
National Health Interview Survey; most recent estimates are from 2017); (B)
increase recent smoking-cessation success among adult smokers from 6.0% in 2008
to 8.0% in 2020, a 2 percentage point improvement (data are from the National
Health Interview Survey; most recent estimates are from 2017); (C) reduce the
proportion of adults aged ≥18 years who are exposed to secondhand smoke
from 37.6% in 2005 to 2008 to 33.8% in 2020, a 10% improvement (data are from
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; most recent estimates are
from 2011–2014); (D) reduce the proportion of adults who drank alcohol
excessively in the previous 30 days from 28.2% in 2008 to 25.4% in 2020, a 10%
improvement (data are from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health; most
recent estimates are from 2016; note that baseline values were not available by
educational attainment); (E) reduce the proportion of adults who have obesity
from 33.9% in 2005 to 2008 to 30.5% in 2020, a 10% improvement (data are from
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; most recent estimates are
from 2013–2016); and (F) increase the proportion of adults who meet the
objectives for aerobic physical activity and for muscle-strengthening activity
from 18.2% in 2008 to 20.1% in 2020, a 10% improvement (data are from the
National Health Interview Survey; most recent estimates are from 2017). AIAN
indicates American Indian/Alaska Native; SHS, secondhand smoke.
