ESTIMASI KERUGIAN EKONOMI AKIBAT OBESITAS PADA ORANG DEWASA DI INDONESIA
Abstract: This study was aimed
to estimate economic loss due to obesity among adults in Indonesia. Estimating
of economic loss due to obesity was measured by calculating cost of health
care, cost of productivity loss due to premature death, and cost of productivity
loss due to absenteeism. Health care cost was estimated by multiplying the
proportion of incidence of comorbidity in obese population, population of
obese, and maintenance costs. Cost of productivity loss due to premature death
was calculated by using the number of deaths, labour force participation rate,
and annual wages, then divided by discount rate rank expected years of life
lost. Cost of productivity loss due to absenteeism was calculated by using
population of obese, the number of days absent from work, labour force
participation rate, and daily wages. Health care cost in Indonesia was
estimated at Rp 56,487 billion/year. Cost of productivity losses due to
premature death was estimated at Rp 1,597 billion/year. Cost of productivity
losses due to absenteeism estimated at Rp 20,394 billion/year. The total cost
of obesity was then estimated at Rp 78,478 billion/year (0,9% of Indonesia’s
GDP in 2013).
