Spending on obesity drives higher health costs and diabetes risk
A new study links rising per capita spending to obesity, the leading diabetes risk. Obese diabetics face tougher treatment with more foot ulcers and amputations. Medicare spends about $600 extra annually on prescriptions for an obese beneficiary. Jeff Levi of Trust for America’s Health urges community programs to improve activity and nutrition. About one third of U S adults are obese and rates rose 37 percent from 1998 to 2006.
