To investigate the tobacco-attributable burden on disease, medical costs, productivity losses and informal caregiving; to estimate health economic gains that can be achieved if main tobacco control measures (raising taxes tobacco, plain packaging, advertising bans smoke-free environments) are fully implemented in eight countries encompass 80% of Latin American population.
Abstract Tobacco tax increases, the most cost‐effective measure in reducing consumption, remain underutilized low and middle‐income countries. This study estimates health economic burden of smoking Argentina forecasts benefits tobacco hikes, accounting for potential effects illicit trade. Using a probabilistic Markov microsimulation model, this quantifies smoking‐related deaths, events, societal costs. The model also different increases price cigarettes through taxes. Annually, causes 45,000...
Background Globally, tobacco consumption continues to cause a considerable burden of preventable diseases. Although the smoking prevalence in Nigeria may be declining over last years, absolute number active smokers remains one highest Africa. Little is known about disease and economic costs cigarette Nigeria. Consequently, there an evidence gap inform design implementation effective policy for control. Methods We applied microsimulation model estimate attributable terms morbidity, mortality,...
Despite being the most cost-effective tobacco control policy, taxation is least implemented component of World Health Organization MPOWER package to reduce smoking worldwide. In Mexico, both prevalence and have remained stable for more than a decade. This study aims provide evidence about potential effects burden tobacco-related diseases main attributable social costs in including informal (unpaid) care costs, which are frequently ignored. We employ first-order Monte Carlo microsimulation...
Introduction Tobacco use has significant health consequences in Latin America, and while studies have examined the overall impact, gender-specific effects not been thoroughly researched. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective tobacco control policies. The objective of this study was to explore tobacco-attributable disease economic burden between men women Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru. Methods We used a previously validated model...
Abstract Introduction Tobacco consumption is associated with nearly 30 000 deaths annually in Nigeria alongside other adverse health and economic effects. Our objective was to estimate the implications of current cigarette labeling policies (text-only HWs); new warnings country (adding graphic up 60% coverage), plain packaging policy as recommended by World Health Organization. Aims Methods We used a probabilistic state-transition individual microsimulation model, considering natural...
Abstract Background: Informal care is a key element of health and well-being for society; however it scarcely visible studied in economic evaluations healthcare. This study aims to estimate the use time cost informal associated with cardiovascular diseases, pneumonia ten different cancers eight Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico Peru). Methods: The good proxy approach was used monetary value care. To time, compilation data from an...
