As obesity is projected to surpass cancer as one of the leading causes of death by midcentury, and given that US health expenditures linked to body weight were in excess of $56 billion in 2000, you can not afford to miss the 3rd Annual World Congress on Obesity. This unique forum will bring together employers, payers and providers to discuss solutions for the promotion of healthier living among consumers to improve your bottom line.
Topics Include:
- Community and State-Wide Programs That Promote Healthier Eating
- The Affects of Obesity on the World Economy
- How Policymakers Have Become Involved in the Obesity Crisis
- Bariatric Surgery Centers – Treating the Whole Patient and Not Just the Weight
