The annual cost of obesity
The health risks associated with body mass index (BMI) vary according to body shape, ethnic group, and age. While BMI doesn’t directly assess body fat, or account for muscle or bone density, it can be used in combination with other health risk factors for overweight and obesity.5
Health care costs for obese workers are 67% higher than for employees without obesity.6
Employers incur
$4,257
per year in additional direct medical costs for each employee who is overweight or obese.7
Each 1-point decrease in BMI annually saves
$367
for employees with hypertension
$752
in health care expenses for employees with diabetes.8
