The United Kingdom has one of the highest rates of obesity: nearly one in three adults are obese. As a result, people in the United Kingdom live on average 2.7 years less due to overweight. Overweight accounts for 8.4% of health expenditure; and lowers labour market outputs by the equivalent of 944 thousand full time workers per year. Combined, this means that overweight reduces United Kingdom’s GDP by 3.4%.

It also details the country-specific assumptions made when calculating effective energy tax rates and matching tax rates to the corresponding energy base.

Quality of care indicators are typically close to the OECD average. Health outcomes are fairly good.
