Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate cost-effectiveness of lifestyle interventions targeting women with higher BMI to reduce diabetes incidence.
  • Evaluated various lifestyle intervention strategies for women during antenatal care.
  • Focused on those with BMI≥25 for greatest impact on health outcomes.
  • Considered both efficiency and health equity in analysis.
  • Limiting interventions to women with BMI≥25 offers the highest health gains.
  • This strategy is preferred when considering the trade-offs between cost and equity.

Abstract

Among the targeted strategies evaluated, limiting implementation to women with BMI≥25 is likely to result in the greatest incremental population net health gains and is the preferred strategy when trade-offs between efficiency and health equity are considered.
