According to analysis of the UnumProvident Disability Database, "health risk factors [such as smoking, obesity, uncontrolled blood pressure, etc.], double and triple the healthcare cost of the older worker. For example, the health cost differential between the low-risk 40 and 50 year old and the high-risk 40 and 50 year old is 3.0 and 2.8 times higher respectively. The health costs for the 60 year old with low risk is an estimated 2.4 times lower than the health risk for the high-risk 60 year old." (Fig. 2.11, p. 8)
