摘要
The article by Eddy and colleagues describes a novel approach to modeling the costs and outcomes of health interventions. As applied to programs to alter lifestyle to prevent diabetes in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, the model's predictions are similar in most respects to previous work but differ about cost-effectiveness. This difference leads the authors to diametrically opposed conclusions about whether health plans should offer programs to modify lifestyle.
