Obesity is recognized by the CDC, AMA and the FDA as a multi-faceted chronic disease requiring long-term management. It is a complex condition affecting more than 31% of full-time employees - another 37% in the workforce are overweight. The good news is that even a small amount of weight loss (5% of a person’s total body weight) can have a clinically meaningful impact on many obesity-related comorbidities and complications, leading to health care cost savings and improved health. Use this brief to help tackle the obesity epidemic at your organization and support your members in their weight loss journey.
