Abstract
Background
We assessed the cost-effectiveness of personalised nutrition in adults with overweight/obesity in Poland and the United Kingdom (UK) using the results of two randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods
The 4-month RCTs compared three interventions: personalised plan (PP) plus behavioural change (PP+B), PP only, and a control. Outcomes included body mass index (BMI), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and costs (2020 British pounds). A Markov model estimated lifetime cost-effectiveness. Different sensitivity analyses were performed.
Results
Participants were randomised to PP+B, PP, and control groups in Poland (n = 89, n = 88, n = 88) and the UK (n = 20, n = 19, n = 15). Comparing BMI reductions of PP+B and PP with control in both countries showed no significant differences, but wide confidence intervals (CIs) were observed (e.g., PP+B vs. control—Poland: −0.20, 95% CI: −0.86, 0.45 kg/m2; UK: −0.80, 95% CI: −1.60, 0.00 kg/m2). Lifetime analysis suggested potential cost-effectiveness for PP+B in Poland (£20,404 per QALY gain), and for PP+B (£13,006 per QALY) and PP (£12,222 per QALY) in the UK, since these figures were lower than the willingness-to-pay thresholds (£34,000 in Poland and £20,000 in the UK). PP in Poland was dominated by control, but sensitivity analyses suggested potential cost-effectiveness.
Conclusions
The PREVENTOMICS interventions may offer a cost-effective approach to reduce weight and avoid its related complications in both countries. Future studies should be larger and/or longer to reduce uncertainty about effectiveness.

期刊介绍:
Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing papers in applied nutrition and dietetics. Papers are therefore welcomed on:
- Clinical nutrition and the practice of therapeutic dietetics
- Clinical and professional guidelines
- Public health nutrition and nutritional epidemiology
- Dietary surveys and dietary assessment methodology
- Health promotion and intervention studies and their effectiveness
- Obesity, weight control and body composition
- Research on psychological determinants of healthy and unhealthy eating behaviour. Focus can for example be on attitudes, brain correlates of food reward processing, social influences, impulsivity, cognitive control, cognitive processes, dieting, psychological treatments.
- Appetite, Food intake and nutritional status
- Nutrigenomics and molecular nutrition
- The journal does not publish animal research
The journal is published in an online-only format. No printed issue of this title will be produced but authors will still be able to order offprints of their own articles.
