As chronic disease prevalence rises, proactive policy interventions are essential to mitigate future healthcare costs and disease burdens. Using the Future Elderly Model, a dynamic Markov microsimulation, we projected chronic disease trends and hospitalization costs from 2020 to 2050 while evaluating four HealthierSG-inspired interventions: (i) improved blood pressure management,(ii) increased physical activity, (iii) sodium reduction, and (iv) all combined. Without intervention, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, obesity, and disability will increase, placing greater strain on Singapore’s healthcare system. Lifetime hospitalization costs were projected to be highest for Indians (US$93,900), followed by Chinese (US$75,700) and Malays (US$70,000). Although Malays had a higher chronic disease burden, their lower lifetime costs were due to shorter life expectancy. Implementing interventions could save up to US$505 million, with the Chinese benefiting the most, followed by Malaysand Indians. These savings highlight the economic value of long-term preventive measures. This study underscores the critical role of preventive care in reshaping Singapore’s healthcare landscape. Investing in sustainable lifestyle interventions can curb rising disease rates, reduce financial strain, and improve long-term health outcomes. Policymakers must prioritize prevention strategies tailored to diverse population needs, ensuring a healthier and more sustainable future for Singapore.","cbCairXeGaB6iK0F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairXeGaB6iK0F","pdf",627420,"English","# Methods\n## Interventions evaluated\n# Projected health and costs\n## Cost patterns by ethnicity\n# Economic impact and policy implications","[{\"question\":\"What modeling approach does the study use to project outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"It uses the Future Elderly Model, a dynamic Markov microsimulation, to project chronic disease trends and hospitalization costs from 2020 to 2050.\"},{\"question\":\"Which HealthierSG-inspired lifestyle interventions are evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates improved blood pressure management, increased physical activity, sodium reduction, and all combined together.\"},{\"question\":\"How much economic savings could interventions generate, and what determines who benefits most?\",\"answer\":\"Implementing interventions could save up to US$505 million; the Chinese benefit the most, followed by Malays and Indians, with lifetime costs influenced by both disease burden and life expectancy.\"}]","Projected Health and Economic Impact of Long-Term Lifestyle Interventions among Older Adults - Abstract | PDF",1790644498]
