Effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and equity of strategies to reduce the burden of obesity-related conditions

决策者需要一种系统、协调的方法来确定预防战略的目标并确定其优先次序。但肥胖干预措施的证据基础在很大程度上是小的，方法狭窄，影响有限，缺乏成本效益和公平信息。这篇论文将增加关于澳大利亚和国际上肥胖流行的性质的证据基础，以及减少肥胖负担的策略的相对成本效益。

Decision-makers need a systematic, coordinated approach to the targeting and prioritisation of preventive strategies. But the evidence base for obesity interventions is for the most part small, narrow in approach, limited in impact, and lacking in cost-effectiveness and equity information. This thesis will add to the evidence base regarding the nature of the obesity epidemic in Australia and internationally and the relative cost-effectiveness of strategies to reduce the obesity burden.
