Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the economic impact of change in BMI among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from the Spanish healthcare system perspective. Methods: The ECOBIM study is an observational, non-interventional study in which data on BMI change and costs ...
Methods: In the current study we estimate the impact of increased BMI on healthcare costs using nine common methods from the literature: multivariable regression analyses (ordinary least squares, generalized linear models, and two-part models), and instrumental variable models (using previously ...

However, its application in laboratory is not simple in terms of health and safety. The advances in mass spectrometry in terms of ultrahigh mass resolving power and high-accurate mass measurements allow the use of stable isotopes (e.g. 13C and 15N) in the replacement of radioactive isotopes ...
A multivariate linear regression analysis was also used to estimate the effects of sex and temperament traits as BMI predictors. The mediation analyses were conducted following the Baron and Kenny [26] approach. According to this model, in the first step, a simple regression analysis was conducted...

Introduction Cardiometabolic disorders often occur concomitantly with depression and schizophrenia,1 leading to a reduced quality of life, increased health care costs,2 and a shortened life expectancy.3,4 Traditionally, this comorbidity has been attributed to chronic lifestyle factors (eg, physical inacti...
Health expectancy was estimated with two health indicators: sub-optimal self-rated health and having a chronic disease (cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes). Multistate life table models were used to estimate sex-specific healthy life expectancy and chronic disease-free ...
