Why Support Wellness?
- In 2005, 133 million people, almost one half of all Americans lived with at least one chronic disease.
- Medical care costs of people with chronic diseases account for more than 75% of the nation’s $2 trillion medical care costs.
- The estimated direct/indirect costs associated with smoking exceed $193 billion annually.
- In 2008, the cost of heart disease and stroke in the US is projected to be $445 billion.
- In 2000, the estimated total cost of obesity was nearly $117 billion.
- Chronic diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the US
Reducing risk for chronic diseases and better managing those conditions can improve your health status and decrease both your own and societal health care costs. With this in mind individuals across the UCSF campus are working together to support ‘Wellness’ at UCSF.
