“…We estimated the costs of overweight and obesity from the above results to be 3.2% of total costs. This 3.2% is within the range reported in studies in Western countries (0.7%-6.8%), [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] although the definition of obesity varied among those studies (BMI of 25.0 or higher to BMI of 30.0 or higher).…”

We conducted three prospective cohort studies that examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and health outcomes in Japan. Our studies found statistically significant relationships between excess body weight and increased medical costs, all-cause mortality, and risk of cancer incidence. There was a U-shaped association between BMI and mean total costs. The estimated excess costs attributable to overweight and obesity was 3.2% of the total costs. This 3.2% is within the range reported in studies in Western countries (0.7%-6.8%). We observed statistically significant elevations in mortality risk in obese (BMI≥30.0kg/m 2 ) women and lean (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 ) men and women. Our prospective cohort study found statistically significant relationships between excess weight and increased risk in women of all cancers. The population attributable fraction (PAF) of all incident cancers in this population that were attributable to overweight and obesity were 4.5% in women, which were within the range reported from Western populations, from 3.2% for US women to 8.8% for Spanish women. Our data suggests that excess body weight is a problem not only in Western countries but also in Japan.

“…Higher BMI in our cohort was significantly associated with increased morbidity as previously reported. 37 As mentioned above, associations between factors of the EI and measures of obesity and abdominal obesity were investigated in many studies. Only a very few studies focused on associations between factors of the EI and morbidity.…”

The Eating Inventory, body adiposity and prevalence of diseases in a quota sample of Czech adults

et al. 2006

Objective: To study the relationships between the Eating Inventory (EI) factors (restraint, disinhibition and hunger), body adiposity and prevalence of selected diseases in a quota sample of Czech adults. Subjects and methods: The sample included 1429 men and 1624 women who were interviewed individually by trained investigators. The sample was quota representative -for gender, age, size of residential location, region and socioeconomic status in Czech adults. Anthropometric data, socioeconomic and lifestyle information were obtained. Subjects filled out the EI questionnaire. Physicians reported about subjects' morbidity. Results: Backward stepwise regression analysis revealed that restraint and disinhibition were significant predictors of body mass index (BMI) along with gender, age, parental obesity, weight loss attempts, present dieting and educational level. The same factors plus income predicted the waist circumference. BMI and waist circumference were negatively related to restraint but positively to disinhibition. According to logistic regression analysis restraint and disinhibition were significantly associated with hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and hyperlipidaemia. Diabetes was significantly related to restraint and hunger scores. The observed association between EI factors and diseases remained significant even when BMI and age were taken into account. Conclusion: As shown in earlier studies, disinhibition was positively and restraint negatively associated with BMI and waist circumference. For the first time, factors of the EI were also identified as significant predictors of diseases characterizing the metabolic syndrome.

“…Rising BMI steadily increases the risks of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers (3). In addition, obesity is responsible for ∼6%-10% of national health expenditures in the United States and 2%-4% in other developed countries (3,8,21,46,73,75). Moreover, the lifetime medical costs related to diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, and stroke among the obese are $10,000 higher than among the nonobese (6).…”

Obesity has risen dramatically in the past few decades. However, the relative contribution of energy intake and energy expenditure to rising obesity is not known. Moreover, the extent to which social and economic factors tip the energy balance is not well understood. This exploratory study estimates the relative contribution of increased caloric intake and reduced physical activity to obesity in developed countries using two methods of energy accounting. Results show that rising obesity is primarily the result of consuming more calories. We estimate multivariate regression models and use simulation analysis to explore technological and sociodemographic determinants of this dietary excess. Results indicate that the increase in caloric intake is associated with technological innovations as well as changing sociodemographic factors. This review offers useful insights to future research concerned with the etiology of obesity and suggests that obesity-related policies should focus on encouraging lower caloric intake. 273*This PDF amended on (4 Dec. 2008): See explanation at
