| Overweight and obesity health-related costs continue to soar. The increased attention placed on the cost increases have been met with both astonishment and confusion. This session looks at how overweight and obesity cost data are determined and potential uses of this data to support actions addressing the obesity epidemic and focuses on national estimates of overweight and obesity, economic causes and consequences of obesity, a review of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity’s recommended economic outcomes for obesity and an example from a state that utilized economic data to determine obesity-related cost and how this prompted state action. A list of resources will be given to session attendees. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1) Participants will be able to identify and describe contributors to national overweight and obesity-related costs. 2) Participants will be describe the impact of the relationship between economics and obesity on the sucess of proposed interventions 3) Participants will be able to state two economic outcomes pertinent to obesity management 4)Participants will be able to identify a process used by private and public sector decision-makers in using cost data to determine the need for establishing obesity prevention and intervention strategies. | |||
