报告警告说,到2032年澳大利亚的肥胖危机可能每年造成900亿美元损失. Australia’s obesity crisis may cost $90 billion yearly by 2032 due to health and productivity losses, a report warns.

根据诺沃北方公司委托的一份报告,澳大利亚的肥胖危机到2032年每年可能会使经济损失900亿美元 (比目前的390亿美元高), 主要是由于生产力下降,缺勤率和过早死亡. Australia’s obesity crisis could cost the economy $90 billion annually by 2032, up from $39 billion today, largely due to lost productivity, absenteeism, and premature deaths, according to a report commissioned by Novo Nordisk. 尽管澳大利亚的健康和经济负担不断增加, 但其预防性卫生支出却低于经合组织国家的平均水平. The study, by the McKell Institute and Menzies Research Centre, notes Australia spends less on preventative health than the average OECD nation despite rising health and economic burdens. 报告呼吁对预防策略进行更多投资, 以应对日益严重的疫情. It calls for greater investment in prevention strategies to address the growing epidemic.
