Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2022) Overweight and obesity, AIHW, Australian Government, accessed 02 March 2023. AB - Aims: To assess and compare the direct healthcare and non-healthcare costs and government subsidies by body weight and diabetes status. Obesity in Australia is an "epidemic" [2] with "increasing frequency." [2] [3] The Medical Journal of Australia found that obesity in Australia more than doubled in the two decades preceding 2003, [4] and the unprecedented rise in obesity has been compared to the same health crisis in America. Results: The annual total direct cost (health care and non-health care) per person increased from $1472(95% CI, $1204$1740) for those of normal weight to $2788(95% CI, $2542$3035) for the obese, however defined (by BMI, WC or both).

However, emerging research suggests that COVID-19 might have had an impact on the weight of some Australians. Tangible costs are business expenditures that are possible to quantify with a value. The health services utilisation and health expenditure data collected from each participant allowed the use of the more robust bottom-up analytical approach. 0000028953 00000 n For obesity, hospitalisation accounted for 36% of cost, prescription medication for 33%, and ambulatory services for 25%.

The representativeness of the AusDiab cohort is further supported by the similar prevalences of BMI-defined weight reported in the 20072008NHS.13 Furthermore, small differences in prevalences of weight status have only a small impact on total cost estimates. That works out to about $1,900 per person every year.
