YLDs averted per unit of intervention: estimates from linear regression models

Intervention (units) YLDs averted per unit of intervention, 95% CI
Estimate LCL UCL
Reduction in log-transformed BMI (0.1) 27,993 23,373 32,614
Reduction in occupational risk (1%) 19,416 16,275 22,557
Exercise participation (1%) 26,058 22,455 29,661

For the BMI intervention the unit is 0.1 log BMI. For the occupational and exercise interventions, the unit is 1.0%. YLD Years lived with disability, BMI Body mass index, CI Confidence interval, LCL Lower 95% confidence limit, UCL Upper 95% confidence limit
