Abstract

OBJECTIVE To better understand, in a commercially-insured population, the potential impact of adopting six health-promoting behaviors relative to treating diseases and conditions. METHODS We combined survey and insurance claims data to compare the potential benefit from adopting behaviors relative to the burden from 27 groups of diseases and conditions. RESULTS If every member adopted all six behaviors, an 11.6% reduction in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) might be expected, and a 7.6% reduction in DALYs might be expected if they adopted the one most impactful behavior that they did not currently practice. These amounts are respectively greater than the DALYs attributed to all but the two and five most burdensome groups of diseases and conditions in this population. CONCLUSION The potential impact of adopting health-promoting behaviors is large relative to the burden from most medical conditions.

商业参保人群健康促进行为对疾病负担的预测影响

目的更好地了解在商业保险人群中，采取六种健康促进行为对治疗疾病和病症的潜在影响。方法结合调查数据和保险理赔数据，比较27组疾病和病症患者采取减轻负担行为的潜在效益。结果:如果每个成员都采用了所有六种行为，那么残疾调整生命年(DALYs)可能会减少11.6%，如果他们采用了一种他们目前没有实践的最有影响力的行为，那么DALYs可能会减少7.6%。这些数额分别高于除这一人口中最严重的两类和五类疾病和病症以外的所有疾病和病症造成的伤残调整生命年。结论采取健康促进行为的潜在影响相对于大多数疾病的负担较大。
