TL;DR: A new modelling approach developed for the assessing cost-effectiveness in obesity (ACE-Obesity) project and the likely population health benefit and strength of evidence for 13 potential obesity prevention interventions in children and adolescents in Australia are reported on.

TL;DR: Surgically induced weight loss is a dominant intervention for managing recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes in class I/II obese patients in Australia and it both saves health care costs and generates health benefits.
