It's no secret that in 2003, health care inflation forced 65% of companies to increase employees' share of health costs. While many companies cannot control many of the supply-side elements contributing to rising health care costs - they can help curb demand. That's why efforts are being redirected from illness to wellness. The case for wellness is supported by an ever growing body of evidence demonstrating the high costs associated with controllable health risks:

• One study reports that obesity raises health care costs by 36% and medication costs by 77%.
• Michigan officials estimate physical inactivity cost the state nearly $8.9 billion in 2002, a cost estimated to be largely borne by employers through insurance premiums and lost productivity.
• The not-for-profit National Committee for Quality Assurance reports that the estimated average cost for postnatal care for women who did not receive prenatal care was $2,341 more than for women who had.

And the indirect costs of unhealthful behavior can be just as high. Data shows that healthier employees are more productive, spending more time at work and showing increased "presenteeism" or productivity, while there. The 5 leading causes of death in Ohio - heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes - are directly linked to unhealthy lifestyles.

Did you know Ohio has the 4th highest percentage of adult smokers in the U.S. and the 9th highest percentage of adults who report no leisure-time physical activity? More than 57% of adult Ohioans are overweight and 72% are not getting proper nutrition.

Clearly, this is where having the Healthy ADVANTAGE can help encourage healthful habits that present an opportunity to improve employees' well being, reduce the need for health care services and help control costs.
