Summary of Contents

With profound changes taking place in the marketplace, and at record speed, NMI is pleased to bring you our first annual Vital Trends Report 2009. A report designed to leverage actionable insights across the full range of NMI’s proprietary databases, including perspectives from a decade of trends through our Health and Wellness Trends Database™.

Inside the report, you will find not just data – but insight and analysis gleaned across the key topic areas of health, wellness and sustainability. Provided in a new format for 2009, the pages are designed to deliver turn-key PowerPoint slides for presentation as well as insightful briefing points to further illustrate and contextualize the findings. You will find a fusion of insights ranging across NMI’s health and wellness databases including Healthy Aging/Boomer Database® and LOHAS Consumer Trends Database®, among others.

The data and insights are structured thematically, based on NMI’s Vital Trends for 2009, with Recalibration this year’s overarching theme.
