1 The Economic Benefits of Risk Factor Reduction in Canada Tobacco Smoking, Excess Weight, Physical Inactivity and Alcohol Use Public Health 2015 May 26, 2015

2 Risk Factors in High-Income North America Ranked by Attributable Disease Burden 1. Tobacco smoking 2. Excess weight 3. High blood pressure 4. High blood sugar levels 5. Physical inactivity 6. Diet low in fruits 7. Alcohol use Attributable disease burden based on disability-adjusted life years (Source: Lim et al., The Lancet, December, 2012) 2

3 Can We Translate Disease Burden into Economic Burden? A major challenge is addressing multiple, overlapping risk factors in the same individual to avoid double-counting. 3

4 Overlap of Risk Factor Exposure in Canada Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 1.1 (2000) Ages 12+ Physical Inactivity 14.3% Excess Weight 19.4% 19.2% 6.3% 1.6% Smoking 4.3% 6.0% 1.2% Alcohol Use 1.1% 3.5% 0.9% 0.7% 0.7% 1.1% 1.0% No Risk Factors 18.9% Source: Adapted from Klein-Geltink et al., Chronic Diseases in Canada, Note: In this study, alcohol use is defined as "consuming more than 14.0 drinks per week (male) or 9.0 drinks per week (female)" 4

5 A Unique Economic Model That takes into account (and adjusts for) double-counting based on the overlap of multiple risk factors in any one individual (tobacco smoking, excess weight, physical inactivity and alcohol use).
