  • Title: Life-style and organizational health insurance costs.
    Author: Vickery DM, Golaszewski T, Wright E, McPhee LE.
    Journal: J Occup Med; 1986 Nov; 28(11):1165-8. PubMed ID: 3783285.
    Abstract:
    Most health professionals accept life-style as being causally related to morbidity and mortality, but many managers question this relationship, particularly in relation to corporate health care costs. This research compared responses from a lifestyle questionnaire (HealthScore), age, and organizational size, with Blue Cross/Blue Shield rates for eight work sites in Ohio. HealthScore was demonstrated to be the best predictor of health insurance rates. This relationship held for a secondary analysis involving Blue Shield rates adjusted for company size and coverage.
