As a society it affects how our taxes are used in government subsidies and even infrastructure. Overweight and obesity was the leading risk factor contributing to non-fatal burden (living with disease), and the second leading risk factor for total burden, behind tobacco use (AIHW 2021). One study in 2005estimated the annual direct health cost of obesity as $1.1billion,14 while another estimated the cost to the health system as $873million.2 This difference is likely to be due to different methodology, as our study used a bottom-up approach, whereas previous studies used a top-down approach.
