Based on 2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data, for seven of the most common chronic diseases [cancers, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, pulmonary conditions, and mental disorders], "the total impact of these diseases on the economy is $1.3 trillion annually. Of this amount, lost productivity totals $1.1 trillion per year, while another $277 billion is spent annually on treatment (not including costs to treat the follow-on health consequences of these diseases)."

This study compares and contrasts the different estimates of absence and presenteeism costs imposed by certain disease conditions. The analysis combines data from administrative records of medical treatment (ie, inpatient and outpatient medical records and drug claims), administrative data related to employee absence and disability, and estimates of absence and presenteeism losses obtained from a variety of self-report instruments and surveys.
