Lost Productivity Costs

Meaning

Lost Productivity Costs, when analyzed through the lens of physiological health, represent the quantifiable economic burden resulting from reduced work output, decreased cognitive function, and increased absenteeism directly attributable to suboptimal health states. In endocrinology, this cost is significantly driven by undiagnosed or poorly managed conditions like subclinical hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue (HPA axis dysregulation), and hormonal deficiencies, which manifest as lethargy, brain fog, and mood disturbances. Addressing these physiological root causes offers a clear path to economic benefit through improved human capital.
