******************************** Efforts Are Growing to Trim the Fat from Employees -- and Employers' Health Care Costs http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1598 With all the statistics showing how many adults in the United States are obese (30%), how many deaths are caused each year by obesity (365,000) and how bad the problem is (getting worse, not better), it's no surprise that obesity is definitely on employers' radar screens this year. But, Wharton experts and others point out, obesity is not just bad for the individual; it also weighs heavily on companies' rising health care costs.
