	Uncorrected individual risk factors						Combined risk factors
Attributable	IPV ($mill)	High risk alcohol ($mill)	Poor diet ($mill)	Physical inactivity ($mill)	Tobacco smoking ($mill)	High BMI ($mill)	Corrected for JE ($mill)
Total production (FCA)	1,801	1,224	63	1,135	1,215	742	3,540
Health sector offsets	207	2,275	206	672	1,412	812	5,329

The data in this table represents the current estimated production and health sector costs based on current risk factor prevalence estimates. FCA: Friction cost approach for valuing workforce productivity losses; IPV: Intimate Partner Violence; BMI: Body mass index; JE: adjusted for joint effects of risk factors; $mill: Australian dollars in millions.
