[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Are you an idiot? Although effective obesity prevention leads to a decrease in costs of obesity-related diseases, this decrease is offset by cost increases due to diseases unrelated to obesity in life-years gained. Obesity prevention may be an important and cost-effective way of improving public health, but it is not a cure for increasing health expenditures.[/quote] Not the previous poster, but saying that the costs are the same based on lifetime cost is apples and oranges when the obese person dies at age 55 and the normal BMI person dies at age 95*. Had the obese person [i]lived [/i]to be 95, the healhcare cost would been higher. *Ages made up to prove a point. [/quote]
