متن کاملDoes age modify the cost-effectiveness of community-based physical activity interventions?
BACKGROUND Community-based efforts to promote physical activity (PA) in adults have been found to be cost-effective in general, but it is unknown if this is true in middle-age specifically. Age group-specific economic evaluations could help inform the design and delivery of better and more tailored PA promotion. METHODS A Markov model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness (CE) of 7...
