Sitting is the new smoking. US truck drivers are among the most obese workers, and physicians among the leanest, according to federal survey data. As the US workforce ages, chronic conditions related to obesity are predicted to cost $4.2 trillion annually by 2023! Thin: dentists, veterinarians, & optometrists. Not so much: transportation & material moving, protective services, & cleaning/building services. (I wonder how actors, chiefs and bingo players did?) Employers can help identify the most effective interventions suitable to their specific workplace & can promote worker engagement in physical activity, healthier lifestyles, nutrition, and food-budget management.
