Epidemiological and economic modelling of diabetes and its complications in the contemporary Australian setting.

糖尿病给澳大利亚带来了巨大的健康和经济负担。随着人口老龄化和肥胖等糖尿病风险因素变得更加普遍，这种负担将会增加。建议项目的主要目标是：1。开发基于计算机的模型，预测澳大利亚糖尿病及其并发症的未来模式。2.使用这些模型来确定有效和具有成本效益的方法，以减少澳大利亚未来的糖尿病负担。

Diabetes imposes a significant health and economic burden on Australia. This burden is set to increase as the population becomes older and risk factors for diabetes, such as obesity, become more common. The main aims of the proposed project are: 1. To develop computer-based models that will predict future patterns of diabetes and its complications in Australia. 2. To use these models to determine effective and cost-effective ways to reduce the future burden of diabetes in Australia.
