The was founded just over 20 years ago. As the organization grew, it incubated an impressive array of structures and processes to foster professional standards, training, credentialing, networking, and scholarship. A compelling and accelerating drumbeat of peer-reviewed publications has demonstrated the advancing base of evidence in which lifestyle medicine practice is rooted. Despite all this good effort, however, the indicators of population health that matter most-longevity and vitality and healthspan, years in life and life in years-have largely trended away from, rather than toward, aspirations. The life course of ACLM has introduced an area of great allure and tremendous promise to health professionals seeking beyond reactive disease care. The processes, structures, and knowledge are in place to advance the goals of vitality and longevity at the population level. Needed, still, are the means of translating that accumulated knowledge into the power of routine, and effective action. Those of us committed to the full potential of lifestyle both in and as medicine have promises yet to keep and miles to go before we sleep. We can, however, see the light on the horizon from here.
该组织成立于20多年前。随着组织的发展，它孕育出了一系列令人印象深刻的结构和流程，以促进专业标准、培训、认证、社交网络和学术研究。同行评审出版物令人信服且不断加速的发展态势表明，生活方式医学实践所基于的证据基础在不断推进。然而，尽管付出了所有这些努力，但最重要的人群健康指标——长寿、活力和健康跨度、生命年数和健康年数——在很大程度上却朝着与期望相反的方向发展。美国生活方式医学学会的发展历程为寻求超越被动疾病护理的健康专业人员引入了一个极具吸引力和巨大潜力的领域。在人群层面推进活力和长寿目标所需的流程、结构和知识已经具备。然而，仍需要将积累的知识转化为日常有效行动的力量。我们这些致力于将生活方式作为医学并发挥其全部潜力的人，还有承诺有待兑现，还有很长的路要走。不过，从这里我们可以看到地平线上的曙光。
