Welfare state, the way americans have gone about making social provisions for themselves. Social provisions include programs that aim at reducing risk and enhancing quality of life. Our focus has been on the relief of poverty. Im going to depart from our usual format here. Im going to do a fair amount of reading this afternoon because im concerned about covering all the material that we have to cover. Over the course of our exploration of the construction of the american welfare state, we have encountered several different pers
Of weight did they lose and some say d. P. P. 66 of them lost weight so those in the online d. P. P. 63 of them lost weight and thats of the people who showed up at the end to get measured. On slide 19 the average weight loss so we measured them at six months and again at 12 months and its really important to see if it was holding up you expect a bigger weight loss at the beginning of a program but sustain tag isnt as easy so what we saw was at six months, they had about a four to five pound weight loss and the online group started to regain by the end and the work site group lost a little bit more so most importantly they sustained that after six months because you dont expect the biggest amount of weight loss in the first six months. Slide 20. This is people who participated that were over weight versus obese because there are its incredibly important looking at those highrisk obese folks trying to reduce them because theyre probably closer to becoming pre diabetic or diabetic than t

The wellbeing score jumps significantly when people are eating five serveings of fruit or vegetables on four or more days its a difference between that like i do it three days and they have a big impact on the wellbeing scoring, same thing with physical activity, if can you get people from two days of 30 minutes of exercise to three days its a big jump in the wellbeing score and if you can get people to the overweight or normal at category from obese is a big shift. Physical activity Healthy Eating , weight, those were all things we talked about when we started but one thing we didnt talk about before we started was how important the employer is to our wellbeing and we talk a lot about healthcare and individuals but understanding the environment we exist in and the employer in which we exist has an influence on our wellbeing is a really important point because to some extent we have control of that right and so what you

That is what we started with looking at how we happened in our population and then it takes you in to our mission because one of the things that we didnt start with and weve really grown in to is who we are and in 2017 we defined wellbeing as living and feeling and being better every day and understanding that when we do that there are things that happen today, today we have more energy and we feel better and thats wher
One of the things that we didnt start with and weve really grown in to is who we are and in 2017 we defined wellbeing as living and feeling and being better every day and understanding that when we do that there are things that happen today, today we have more energy and we feel better and thats where you really see those enhancements on your productivity and tomorrow, hopefully those things accumulate and in to us preventing Health Conditions and berman age Health Conditions and in the longterm really allowing our quality of life to improve and so thats where our mission came from. On slide 14, you have those factors that are associated with wellbeing and a list of the some of the programs we offer to address them and you will get my usual overly long annual report in the new year that summarize those programs and how theyve been doing and we report on them as they come up and lots of different data points for you so theres no one like look at that and we did that for wellbeing its al
