obesity puts a drag on the wallet as well as health,especially for women.
Doctors have long known that medical bills are higher for the obese in the United
States,but that is only a portion of the real-life costs.
George Washington University researchers factored in matters like employee sick days and lost productivity--even the need for extra petrol--to find the annual cost of being obese is US$4879 for a woman and US$2646 for a man.
Yet the basic cost of being overweight is US$524 for women and US$432 for men,concluded the researchers,who analysed previously published studies to come up with the totals.
Why the difference between the sexes?Studies suggest larger women earn less than skinnier women,while wages do not differ when men pack on the kilograms.
That was a big surprise,said study co-author and health policy professor Christine
Ferguson.
Researchers had expected everybody's wages to suffer with obesity,but "this ingicates you're not that disadvantaged as a guy from a wage perspective," said Ferguson,who plans to study why.
Then consider that obesity is linked to earlier death,which is not something people
usually consider a pocketbook issue.But the researchers averaged in the economic value of lost life.That brought women's annual obesity costs up toUS$8365 and men's to US$6518.
The numbers are in line with other research and are not surprising,said Kevin Schulman,a professor of medicine and health economist at Duke University who was not involved in the new study.

随便翻一翻,见笑了.
对女性朋友而言,肥胖不仅会造成经济上的负担,也会对健康造成影响.在美国,医生一直认为非常肥胖的人总会有更高的医疗开销,但这只是冰山一角.美国乔治华盛顿大学的研究者对肥胖所造成的额外开销的原因--如员工病假,生产率低下,甚至是额外的汽油消耗--进行分析,他们发现男性肥胖者年均额外开销为4879美元,而女性肥胖者为2646美元.
到目前为止,研究者根据市面上的资料得出的结论为,女性肥胖者的基本开销为524美元,而男性肥胖者则为432美元.
为何在开销上存在着性别的差异?研究认为,肥胖女性的收入要比苗条女性低,工资和那些胖男人相同.
“这是一个令人惊讶的发现.”合著者以及健康政策教授Christine Ferguson说.
研究人员认为,每个人的工资高低都会收到肥胖的影响,但是“这表示你并不比那些对工资抱着美好憧憬的人有多大的劣势.”准备进行相关研究的Ferguson说道.
而肥胖和寿命短之间的关系也并非是大家想象中的理所当然.研究者统计出了死亡经济价值的平均数,肥胖女性为年均8365美元,而肥胖男性为年均6518美元.
这个数字与其他研究所得出的数字相比,并不会令人吃惊,美国杜克大学医学和生命经济学教授Kevin Schulman说道.他并没有参与这项新的研究.
