In 2010, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that nearly 20 percent of the increase in
U.S. health care spending (from 1987-2007) was caused by obesity.
Annual health costs related to obesity in the U.S. are nearly $210 Billion annually, and nearly 21 percent
of medical costs in the U.S. can be attributed to obesity.
Researchers estimate that if obesity trends continue, obesity-related medical costs, could rise by $43 to
$66 billion each year in the U.S. 2030, making obesity medical costs $1.1 to $1.6 TRILLION annually.
The per capita medical spending is $2,741 higher for people with obesity than for normal weight people.

an estimated 450 million additional days of work each year compared with healthy workers-- resulting in
an estimated cost of more than $153 billion in lost productivity annually, according to a 2011 Gallup Poll.
Medical expenses for obese employees are 42 percent higher than for a person with a healthy weight,
