Cost-Effectiveness of Preventing Weight Gain and Obesity
The field of CE of preventing weight gain and obesity by physical activity promotion is getting more attention, as shown by the many analyses and review papers that have been conducted within the past few years. Many deficits in this field are similar to those in other disease areas. There is a need for more parsimonious computer simulation models, as well as tests on the structural assumptions of simulation models. Furthermore, there is a need for more studies on the comparative CE of prevention programs.
