Simulating the long-term health economic impact of overweight and obesity in Australia and identifying cost-effective treatment or prevention strategies

澳大利亚肥胖水平的上升对健康产生了负面影响，并给卫生系统带来了相当大的成本。最近获得的大型个人健康数据集使我们能够更好地了解体重增加与肥胖相关的合并症、死亡率和医疗保健费用的进展。这项研究为澳大利亚的肥胖干预及其对长期成本和收益的影响提供了急需的证据，为未来的肥胖相关政策提供信息。

Increasing levels of obesity in Australia negatively impact on health and at considerable cost to the health system. Recent availability of large individual-level health datasets enables us to develop a better understanding of weight gain on the progression of obesity related co-morbidities, mortality and healthcare costs. This fellowship provides much-needed evidence on obesity interventions and its impact on long-term costs and benefits in Australia to inform future obesity related policies.
