CHOICES National Action Kit: Modeled Outcomes Glossary

MODELED OUTPUT	DEFINITION
Population Reach*  10-year reach	The number of people directly affected by the strategy over the 10 years model period.
Obesity Prevented* Cases of obesity prevented in the final year	In the final year of the model, the difference in the projected number of people with obesity if the strategy were not put in place and the projected number of people with obesity if the strategy were put in place.
Child Obesity Prevented* Cases of child obesity prevented in the final year	In the final year of the model, the difference in the projected number of children with obesity if the strategy were not put in place and the projected number of children with obesity if the strategy were put in place.
Obesity Years Prevented Years with obesity prevented (10-year totals)	The difference in total number of person-years lived without obesity if the strategy were not put in place compared with if the strategy were put in place. This measure sums up portions of years lived without obesity across all the persons in the model, comparing the result if the strategy were put in place or not.
Intervention Effect per Person 1-yr BMI change kg/m2 per person	The difference in BMI per person affected by the strategy if the strategy were not put in place compared with if the strategy were put in place.
Intervention Cost per Person 10-year cost per 10-year reach	The cost to implement the strategy over 10 years per person affected over 10 years. This includes cost by all payers (government, private sector, non-profit, individual/family).
Health Care Costs Saved Per $1 Invested 10-year health care costs saved per 10-year intervention costs	The amount avoided in health care cost related to excess weight for every dollar spent to implement the strategy over the 10-year model period.
Intervention Cost per BMI Intervention cost per BMI unit reduction per person	How much it would cost to reduce one BMI unit per person affected by the strategy.
Net Cost per Obesity Year Prevented Net cost per year with obesity prevented	The total cost impact to prevent a person living with obesity for a year. This includes costs to implement a strategy, cost savings due to efficiencies when implementing a strategy, and health care cost savings related to reductions in excess weight after a strategy is implemented.
