The ‘Big Three’: Diabetes, Heart Disease, Metabolic Syndrome

These preventable chronic conditions keep CFO’s awake at night, even if they don’t know it.

Why?

Unchecked or unmanaged, these 3 conditions produce the highest percentage of the future high-cost claims for employers. And most of the time they’re completely preventable.

According to the CDC, chronic diseases – such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis – are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems in the U.S.

- Obesity has become a major health concern. 1 in every 3 adults is obese and almost 1 in 5 youth between the ages of 6 and 19 is obese.

- Metabolic Syndrome is characterized by a group of medical conditions that places people at risk of both heart disease and type-2 diabetes.

If you could predict the future, doesn’t it make sense to move toward the best possible outcome?
