Overweight, Obese Workers at Greater Risk for Disability,
Financial Woes

(ARA) - According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), obesity is the No. 1 health threat facing
Americans, as nearly one-third of Americans are obese and
two-thirds are overweight.

At the same time, healthcare expenses and insurance claims
are on the rise for obese and overweight individuals, who
often suffer serious, disabling conditions, including heart
disease, diabetes and arthritis.

In fact, according to a recent Duke University study,
obese and overweight workers even experience more work-
related injuries than their healthier co-workers. The study
found that the most obese workers experienced additional
lost workdays and twice as high rates of workers’
compensation claims.

Since 2000, the number of disabled workers -- including
those who are obese and overweight -- has increased by 35
percent in the United States. At the same time, the
financial health of American workers has declined, as many
are dipping deeper into savings or going into debt to make
ends meet.

Given many Americans’ precarious state of health, coupled
with an unsteady financial situation, it’s distressing that
nearly 60 percent of U.S. workers in a recent survey
conducted by the Council for Disability Awareness (CDA)
said they haven’t discussed how they would manage an income-
limiting disability, such as one resulting from obesity.

“These facts are alarming, considering two-thirds of
respondents to our survey with a 401k or IRA plan are
unaware of what would happen to their retirement savings
should they become disabled due to accidents or illnesses,
including those related to obesity,” explains Robert
Taylor, president of CDA.

Fortunately, by being responsible and planning ahead,
American workers can improve their chances of financial
stability in case of a long-term illness or accident
resulting from obesity. Moreover, by maintaining a healthy
lifestyle, they can reduce their chances of experiencing a
disability in the first place.

“It’s just as important to take healthy steps to reduce
the risk of disability as it is to prepare financially in
case disability strikes,” reasons Taylor.

To learn about health tips for reducing your risk of
becoming disabled, as well as tools that can provide you
with considerations to enhance your financial security,

Flu Shot Dilemma

Many people do not get flu shots because they worry about
getting a mild case of the flu. Studies have shown,
however, that in the vast majority of cases, this will not
occur. The shot is recommended for people over the age of
65 and for those who have a chronic medical condition. The
vaccine should be given once a year, in the fall.
