Epidemiological modelling of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in Australia

随着澳大利亚人口老龄化和日益肥胖，心血管疾病和糖尿病预计将给我们本已捉襟见肘的医疗体系带来巨大负担。预防疾病的发生显然是最好的管理策略，但我们也需要对患有这些疾病的人采取有效的治疗策略，我们需要确保我们以最有效和最具成本效益的方式使用我们的医疗保健资金，以实现这些目标。这项研究将评估如何在特定的澳大利亚背景下最好地做到这一点。

With Australia's population ageing and becoming increasingly obese, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are predicted to be a massive burden on our already stretched health system. Preventing the onset of disease is clearly the best management strategy, but we also need effective treatment strategies for those with these diseases, and we need to ensure that we are spending our healthcare dollars in the most effective and cost-effective manner to achieve these aims. This research will evaluate how best to do this in a specifically Australian context.
