Synopsis

Given that there is limited evidence on the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among women in Australia, the aim of this project is two-fold. First, this project will apply econometric models to evaluate the current burden of NCDs, in terms of health care services and resource costs. Second, simulation and forecasting models will be used to quantify the future costs of NCDs, while accounting for the prevalence of risk factors.
