Impact of weight loss on obesity‐related complications and direct healthcare costs in Japan: A modelling study
Weight loss in the Japanese population has the potential to drive major reductions in healthcare costs via prevention of complications associated with higher BMI and consequent reductions in costs associated with these complications. Greater weight loss is likely to be associated with greater cost reductions. Our analysis highlights the importance of prompt weight management support for people living with obesity.
