摘要

Background

Obesity is a public health problem in Chile, with 31% of adults and 54% of children affected. Current public policies present gaps in prevention with 44% of obese children. In Penco-Lirquén, a comprehensive and personalized Pediatric Cardiometabolic Rehabilitation program is proposed.

Objective

Analyze the cost-effectiveness of program.

Method

Characterization of supply and demand, together with a technical-financial study to determine viability and cost-effectiveness.

Results

The economic viability with a positive Net Present Value and an Internal Rate of Return of 13% estimates that the interventions could be 49% cheaper than the current strategy and improve the Human Development Index by 0.585%.

Conclusion

The implementation of the program is proposed as a cost-effective strategy, promoting healthy habits and optimizing health resources. The prevention and treatment of obesity must be prioritized globally to protect the health of future generations and reduce costs.
