To evaluate the relationship between modifiable health risks, and health and productivity related expenditures and predict cost savings from improvements in the health risk profile of a large US employer.
Information was collected on 11 modifiable health risks for active employees who completed a health assessment and enrolled in a noncapitated health plan. These risks were related to employer medical care costs and employee productivity. Multivariate analyses were performed to estimate costs associated with high risk, as well as potential savings from reducing risk prevalence among employees.
Health risks with the greatest impact on total medical care costs included obesity, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high triglycerides, and inadequate exercise.
Modifiable health risks are associated with higher employer costs. Targeted programs that address these risks are expected to yield substantial savings.
评估可改变的健康风险与健康和生产力相关支出之间的关系，并预测改善美国大型雇主健康风险状况可节省的成本。
收集了 11 项可改变的健康风险因素的信息，这些因素与在职员工有关，他们完成了健康评估并参加了无上限的健康计划。这些风险与雇主的医疗费用和员工的生产力有关。进行了多变量分析，以估计与高风险相关的成本，以及降低员工风险发生率可能节省的成本。
对总医疗费用影响最大的健康风险包括肥胖、高血压、高血糖、高甘油三酯和运动量不足。
可改变的健康风险与雇主成本增加有关。预计针对这些风险的有针对性的计划将产生大量节省。
