In the developed world, obesity is a serious risk factor for many
chronic diseases. Besides its morbidity and mortality burden,
Obesity generates a huge cost burden on countries health services.
This study aims to assist policymakers in their efforts to
prioritize interventions to prevent and treat obesity by
calculating cost-utility ratios of the treatment modes of dietary
counseling, pharmaceutical interventions and bariatric
surgery.Generally, the majority of interventions were found to be
either cost-saving or very cost-effective in an Israeli setting.
Differences in cost-effectiveness exist within each treatment
modality, but the data are not robust enough to facilitate
within-modality prioritization at this point. Readers can use the
methodologies in this paper to generate cost-utility ratios for
their own country-specific interventions.
Mold, lead, radon, asbestos, food additives, power lines, and more:
what the risks are, and how to safeguard against them. Arsenic.
Mercury. Pesticides. Dioxin. Toxic gases. Your typical hazardous
waste dump, right? Wrong. These materials can be found in the home.
Every day, people work, live, and play amid potentially harmful
toxics-things they might not even know are there. They are exposed
to these toxic substances in their homes, neighborhoods, schools,
workplaces, foods, and consumer products. Now, two toxics experts
with decades of experience in public health have created a book
that separates the risks from the myths of everyday toxics.
Comprehensive and easy-to-use, this guide provides scenarios and
real-life examples-including important warning signs-that show how
to identify problems and what to do about them. With Q&A
segments, charts to help assess risk, and a special homebuyer's
guide, What's Toxic, What's Not is a book no home should be
without.
