NCDMod: a microsimulation model exploring the economic impacts of obesity interventions in Australia
Background
Microsimulation:
NCDMod – a chronic disease microsimulation model
An individual’s journey through the model:
Aim:
Intervention uptake and completion assumptions:
Resource use assumptions:
Simulated obesity prevalence, 2010-2025
Comparative health outcomes, 2015-2025
Total direct health expenditure (5-year periods) with 50% uptake
Health expenditure – intervention costs 2015-2025
Discussion:
Future Development:
