Document Summary

Illness associates with lifestyle cost the nhs 11 billion pounds each year. This is relevant because health economists look at this data and possible things they can implement to address lifestyle issues like obesity and see if the programs are of benefit. 4/10 middle ages people have long term conditions that have no cure.
