In Australia's ageing crisis, baby boomers play a key role. Not only will they double the size of the aged population and its ratio to the workforce age group but the extent to which they remain in the workforce and their health will be crucial to future national productivity and prosperity. Baby Boomers have the highest level of obesity of any Australian age cohort and this threatens to seriously reduce their workforce participation and productivity and increase chronic disease incidence. There is a narrow closing window of opportunity for intervention which will reduce obesity and improve health and workforce outcomes.

在澳大利亚的老龄化危机中，婴儿潮一代起着关键作用。 它们不仅将使年龄人口的规模及其与劳动力年龄段的比例增加一倍，而且还将其留在劳动力中的程度，其健康对未来的国家生产力和繁荣至关重要。 婴儿潮一代在任何澳大利亚年龄段的肥胖症中都是最高水平的，这有可能严重降低其劳动力参与和生产力并增加慢性病的发病率。 干预的机会范围狭窄，这将减少肥胖症并改善健康和劳动力成果。
