• According to the US Department of Health & Human Services, for every 100 employees in this country:
  ○ 27 have cardiovascular disease
  ○ 24 have high blood pressure
  ○ 50 or more have high cholesterol
  ○ 26 are overweight by 20% or more
  ○ 59 don’t get adequate exercise

• Health care costs in the United States doubled from 1990 to 2001 and are expected to double again by 2012 (Professional Case Management. July/August 2007).
  
  
• Nearly 60 percent of employers’ after-tax profits are spent on corporate health benefits. An estimated 25-30 percent of companies’ medical costs per year are spent on employees with excess health risk. That contrasts to three decades ago when only seven percent of corporate profits paid for health costs (Center for Prevention and Health Services and Employee Benefits Journal. September 1999).
  
  
• Employer spending on health promotion and chronic disease prevention is a good business investment. Programs have achieved a rate of return on investment ranging from $3 to $15 for each dollar invested with savings realized within 12 to 18 months (American Journal of Health Promotion. May/June 2001).
  
  
• Chronic illnesses affect more than a third of working-age Americans and the costs associated with chronic diseases account for approximately 75 percent of the nation’s annual health care costs (Professional Case Management. July/August 2007).
