Key Points

To evaluate the long-term effects of fiscal and behavioral policies on obesity and diabetes in Central and Eastern European countries.
Utilized a microsimulation model to predict health outcomes over time.
Integrated fiscal policies like sugar-sweetened beverage tax with increased physical activity interventions.
Assessed inequality impacts related to obesity and diabetes burden.
Findings suggest potential reductions in obesity and diabetes prevalence.
Identified significant health improvements linked to combined policy strategies.
Highlighted the importance of aligning policies with Sustainable Development Goals.

Implication

Microsimulation model shows obesity and diabetes reduction in CEE countries, indicating fiscal and behavioral strategies may address inequalities.

Abstract

Integrating fiscal and behavioural policies could reduce the burden of obesity, T2DM, and related inequalities in CEE countries, supporting strategies aligned with the WHO and Sustainable Development Goals.
