PURPOSEUsing data from the 2000 National Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and estimates from published studies, this study projected the long-term health and economic impacts of preventing and reducing overweight and obesity in today's adolescents.METHODSWe developed a body mass index progression model to project the impact of a 1% point reduction in both overweight and obese adolescents aged 16–17 years at present on the number of nonoverweight, overweight, and obese adults at age 40 years. We then estimated its impact on the lifetime medical costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) after age 40. Medical costs (in 2007 dollars) and QALYs were discounted to age 17 years.RESULTSA 1% point reduction in both overweight and obese adolescents ages 16–17 years at present could reduce the number of obese adults by 52,821 in the future. As a result, lifetime medical care costs after age 40 years would decrease by 586millionandlifetimeQALYswouldincreaseby47,138.Intheworstcasescenario,the1%pointreductionwouldlowermedicalcostsby 463 million and increase QALYs by 34,394; in the best case scenario, it would reduce medical costs by 691millionandincreaseQALYsby57,149.CONCLUSIONSObesitypreventioninadolescentsgoesbeyonditsimmediatebenefits;itcanalsoreducemedicalcostsandincreaseQALYssubstantiallyinlaterlife.Therefore,itisimportanttoincludelong-termhealthandeconomicbenefitswhenquantifyingtheimpactofobesitypreventioninadolescents.
