Physical Activity Statistics: Introduction | DNPA | CDC

The database of State Legislative and Regulatory Action to Prevent Obesity and Improve Nutrition and Physical Activity (SLRA) provides legislative and regulatory information related to select nutrition, physical activity and obesity health topics. SLRA features significant content enhancements including how data is searched, categorized, and presented.

To better meet the needs of policy analysts, state programs, local health departments and researchers, CDC updated the SLRA to include new topic areas such as active transit, breastfeeding, school nutrition, television time, and Safe Routes to Schools. SLRA also now contains enacted regulations disseminated by state agencies.

Browse the scope notes to identify pre-selected topics within the category (i.e., nutrition, physical activity, obesity) of interest. Search the database for regulation or legislation by health topic, category, setting, state, or year.
