6 Is there an Economic Benefit? OBJECTIVE: Describe the relationship among modifiable health behaviors and short-term medical costs using a prospective study linking cross-sectional survey data that assessed modifiable risk behaviors with insurance claims. SUBJECTS: A stratified, random sample of 7983 members. Eighteen months of medical costs were analyzed. Independent variables, included self-reported health behaviors of smoking, heavy drinking, nutrition, and physical activity. RESULTS: Physical inactivity and smoking were significant predictors of higher medical costs. Each day a member did not exercise there was a 2.9% difference in cost. Compared with never smokers, current smokers had 16% higher costs. CONCLUSION: Physical inactivity and smoking were associated with higher short-term medical costs among health plan members. 2.

7 Is there an Economic Benefit? OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention (LI) in reducing work loss and disability days using a one-year randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS: health plan members (n = 147) with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Members were randomized to modest-cost (LI) or usual care (UC). RESULTS: LI reduced the risk of workdays lost by 64.3% (P <or= 0.001) compared to UC (annual accumulation: UC: 3.49 days vs LI: 0.92 days, P = 0.01). LI decreased the risk of disability days by 87.2% (P = 0.0003) compared to UC (annual accumulation: UC: 5.3 days vs LI: 0.94 days, P <or= 0.001). Similar trends were observed among the subset of people with depression. CONCLUSION: LIs reduce work loss and disability days associated with diabetes and obesity. 3.
