"Revolutionary Fat Treatments and Exercise Could Slash NHS Costs by £17 Billion Annually, New Data Shows"

FAT jabs paired with moderate exercise could save the NHS a staggering £17bn a year, new data suggests.

insurer Vitality found people taking drugs and doing physical activity often cut their in-hospital costs by 63 per cent within a year.

Even without taking up the exercise regime, costs for hospitals could fall by a THIRD on average after treatment.

Moderate exercise is seen as the equivalent of around 5,000 steps a day three or more times a week.

The in costs is linked to fewer and shorter hospital stays, less severe complications and lower morbidity.

Vitality said if everyone classed as clinically obese received a jab and increased their activity, savings could hit £17bn.

The findings also revealed that 13 per cent of those who started exercise before the medication regime but then stopped could find themselves in a worse position by regaining the weight.

Dr Katie Tryon, Deputy CEO of Vitality said: “Combining with even moderate exercise could make a substantial difference to the long-term impact on a person’s health.

“This has the potential to not only improve patient outcomes, but also to deliver substantial savings for the and health systems globally.

“Obesity and are a major proportion of the cost burden in our health system, but by integrating medical innovation with sustainable lifestyle changes, we can dramatically reduce this.”
