Figure 4. Cost-effectiveness plane for the NSSRI voluntary sugar reformulation policy among US adults over lifetime.

Figure 4.

Values are presented from a societal perspective in incremental costs ($billions) versus incremental quality-adjusted life years (million QALYs), compared to a base scenario of no added sugar reformulation. Each colored dot is the result of each of 1,000 Monte Carlo iterations, and the ellipse depicts the 95% UIs. Interventions that fall into the lower right quadrant of the cost-effectiveness plane indicate that the interventions would be cost saving and improve health outcomes. Blue dots are for the main policy scenario with 100% industry compliance; orange dots are for the sensitivity analysis with 50% industry compliance.
