The Effect of Fitness on Global Health

Paolo Crud

Background: The cost-effectiveness of the treatments has generally been established in reviews of economic analyses of physical activity in public health; however, the validity of the conclusions drawn depends on the suitability of the modelling techniques employed in the particular studies.

Objective: To give a general overview and critique of modelling techniques and important structural hypotheses utilised in practical investigations to calculate the effect of physical activity on population health.

Methods: We conducted a thorough search of electronic resources for pertinent model-based economic evaluations. The modelling investigations were evaluated using a theme approach. The assessment determined the suitability of the modelling frameworks and the veracity of significant structural hypotheses.
