| This tool helps project the number of people in
a typical U.S. adult population who will experience at least one
of the four leading causes of death and disability. To project the
impact on your population and the related health care costs, fill
in the number of employees covered by your insurance plan, and the
percent of those who also have spouses on the plan. |
|
|
| Below is the
number of people in your adult population who can be expected to
have behaviors that will lead to chronic illness or long-term disability,
and the per year costs related to those illnesses and injuries.

| Below are four
medical conditions that are among the leading causes of health care
costs. "Cases" refers to the number of projected incidents
in a U.S. adult population. "Costs" reflects the related
medical expenses to treat the conditions. "Preventable Costs"
represents the potential savings based on eliminating lifestyle
risks. (Non-preventable costs are those related to age, gender,
race, and genetic predisposition.) |
|
|
| To project
a return on your prevention investment, enter the total number of
dollars invested in prevention efforts and the projected penetration
rate, or the percentage of covered lives whose behaviors will be
improved. |
