SUGARY DRINKS

Model development

A mathematical model was developed that allows estimating the burden of disease caused by sugary drinks and the potential impact of interventions aimed at reducing their consumption.

Tools with Purposes

compare

Current Consumption vs Non-Consumption

This model compares a world with the current consumption of sugary drinks in the countries analyzed, with a world in which there is no consumption.

Estimate

Estimates and Impact

To estimate the impact on the burden of disease, both the direct effect of the consumption of sugary drinks on health and the effect produced through the increase in body mass index (BMI) and the association of the latter with different pathologies are used. .

Evaluate

Measurable Evaluation

In turn, the impact of each pathology associated with changes in BMI is evaluated in terms of quality-adjusted life years and costs for the health system.
