• Obesity-related illnesses cost the Saskatchewan health care system an estimated $120million dollars annually, or 7.3% of total direct health care costs in the province. When productivity losses due to obesity, including premature death, absenteeism and disability, are added, the total cost of obesity to the Saskatchewan economy is estimated at between $230 million and $260 million a year, equal to 1% of the province's Gross Domestic Product.
• Rates of overweight conferring a "probable health risk" (BMI = >27) have nearly doubled in Saskatchewan, with 35.3% of the province's adults now overweight compared to just 18.7% in 1985.
**Proceeds from the annual walk-a-thon go towards operating costs of the Saskatchewan Bariatric Surgery Support Group, Inc.**
