{{B}}Exercise Lowers Employers’ Health Costs{{/B}} Companies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit, researchers reported on Friday. They said obese (肥胖的) employees had higher health-care costs, but lowered those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week — without even losing any weight. Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at General Motors. They estimated that getting the most sedentary (惯于久坐的) obese workers to exercise would have saved about $790,000 a year, or about 1.5I percent of health-care costs for the whole group. Company-wide, the potential savings could reach $7.1 million per year, they reported in A. $790,000 per year. B. $7.1 million per year. C. $3,000 per year. D. $7,300 per year. 我来回答: 提交
