The cost of poor health to corporate America and what you can do about it.

Losses of $32 billion per year are related to premature illness associated with cardiovascular disease - high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Every year billions of dollars in productivity are lost as a result of employee sickness and disability. The average annual healthcare cost per person in the U.S. is more than $3,000. Preventable illness makes up approximately 70% of the total costs of illness.

Because many of these costs are directly linked to health habits, employers can take aggressive action toward containing costs by implementing corporate fitness programs.
