The cost of obesity to Scottish
society
We estimate that the
total cost to Scottish
society of obesity in
2007/8 was in
excess of £457
million and it is likely
that this is an
underestimate.
Much of this cost is
avoidable...
(Published 2010)
The cost of obesity
to the NHS (2007/2008)
> £175 million (direct costs)
Includes
• £ 4.5 m associated with drug cost
• £48 m obesity related diabetes
• £38 m hypertension
Add the costs of being overweight… may be half
again ADD £137 m
TOTAL NHS COSTS for OW and obesity £312m
NHS Costs
Accounts for around 2% of total
healthcare costs
Obese individuals had medical costs 30%
higher than those with normal wt
Around 23% of spending on all drugs is
attributable to overweight and obesity.
The cost of obesity
to Society(2007/2008)
Impact on employment
• obesity 25% less likely to be in employment
• overall attainment less for women
Production levels
Incapacity benefits est £195 m
Premature death est £87 m
Infra- structure planning
• Hospital costs
TOTAL society COSTS for obesity £282m
RCP (2013) Action on Obesity
What are the total costs?
? £457 m (estimates of direct and indirect)
£0.6b to £1.4b
Future estimates (Scotland)
10-15 years behind US (2003 S = 1991 US), 41%
predicted to be obese by 2030
Estimated UK costs of
£1.9 to 2 billion /year by 2030
