The underweight has lower healthcare costs (16.97%) compared to the group normal weight, group characterized as overweight cost more (6.66%). The group with obese people costs 48.23% more compared to people with normal weight. Conclusion: Obesity is defined different methodologies is a significant risk factor for serious cardiovascular disease. These diseases are manifested by increased amount of resources that must expend additional insurance cost. It was clearly demonstrated that the reported cost of health care rises with increasing weight.
