Obesity Action Coalition Calls On Insurers And Employers To Increase Access To Obesity Management Services
In light of recent
studies in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) demonstrating a
powerful connection between obesity interventions and reduced deaths, the
Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) calls on insurers and employers to increase
access to the treatments of obesity and morbid obesity.
In one study, led by Ted D. Adams, PhD, MPH, staggering results were
reported in regards to the occurrence of death due to cancer,
cardiovascular events and diabetes. The study concluded that long-term
total mortality after gastric bypass was significantly reduced. This is one
of the first major studies demonstrating that intentional weight-loss leads
to improved life expectancy.
"Obesity is not a cosmetic problem. As demonstrated in the NEJM
studies, obesity interventions such as bariatric surgery save lives. It is
now time for all insurers and employers to make obesity management services
a priority and widely available to those affected by the diseases of
obesity and morbid obesity. By doing so, those affected by obesity and
their healthcare providers will have the necessary tools to combat this
lifelong disease and improve the longevity and quality of health and life
for all those affected by obesity," said Joseph Nadglowski, Jr., OAC
President and CEO.
Obesity is a serious health epidemic that targets one in four
Americans. It is estimated that more than 93 million Americans are obese,
with that number predicted to climb to 120 million in the next five years.
In order to address this epidemic, the OAC recognizes and promotes
increasing prevention efforts and improving access to safe and effective
treatment options, such as nutrition counseling, physician supervised
weight-loss (with or without pharmaceuticals) and for appropriately
selected candidates, bariatric surgery.
The mission of the OAC is to elevate and empower those affected by
obesity through education, advocacy and support. The OAC strives to educate
obese individuals, family members and the public on obesity. In addition,
the OAC will increase obesity education, work to improve access to medical
treatments for the obese, advocate for safe and effective treatments and
strive to eliminate the negative stigma associated with obesity.
