Reducing chronic disease through changes in food aid: A microsimulation of nutrition and cardiometabolic disease among Palestinian refugees in the Middle East
Table 6
The table shows DALYs and costs (in 2017 US dollars) averted by shifting from traditional food parcel delivery to a food parcel with less grain and increased fruits and vegetables. The parcel has the same total food aid costs, including food material and overhead costs for procurement and delivery. DALYs and costs are discounted at a 3% annual rate and reflect the life-course DALYs averted per 100,000 population from a 10-year policy change.
