These diseases are all symptoms of one somewhat obvious underlying cause - obesity (which of course has its own causes). I wonder if more aggressive preventative care will be seen as cost-effective by insurance companies soon - it's already taking place in workplaces that offer insurance and give a stipend to employees to spend on e.g. a gym membership or group exercise sessions.
