Abstract

Health state utilities associated with weight change are needed as inputs for cost-utility analyses (CUAs) examining the value of treatments for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Published studies have estimated the utility benefits associated with various amounts of weight loss.

The purpose of this study was to estimate utilities associated with body weight decreases based on preferences of individuals with T2D in Japan.
