Kim DD, Wilde PE, Michaud DS, et al. - Given that processed meats are related to increased risk of colorectal and stomach cancers, researchers assessed the cost efficacy of implementing tax and warning labels on processed meats, by using a probabilistic cohort-state transition model that includes lifetime and short-term horizons, healthcare, and societal views, and 3% discount rates for costs and health outcomes. As per findings, over a lifetime, a total of 77,000 cases of colorectal cancer and 12,500 cases of stomach cancer would be prevented by implementing 10% excise tax, and this would also add 593,000 quality-adjusted life years, and produce net savings of $2.7 billion from a societal perspective, including $1.1 billion healthcare expenses saved. A total of 85,400 cases of colorectal cancer and 15,000 cases of stomach cancer would be prevented by implementing warning label policy, and this strategy would also add 660,000 quality-adjusted life years, with net savings of $4.5 billion from a societal perspective, including $1.3 billion healthcare expenses saved. The model showed substantial health and economic benefits of implementing tax or warning labels on processed meats, this proved to be a cost-saving strategy.
