Relative index of inequality by level of education
• Prevalence of low consumption is higher in those with a lower level of education
• Australia: prevalence is nearly 40% higher in women with a low level of education
• Inequalities are higher for women than for men overall
Individuals with lower socio-economic
characteristics are at highest risk
Populations at highest risk of low quality diet
Source: OECD analysis of health survey data.
Chile Korea Mexico Spain USA
Low quality diet
Aged 35-49 with medium SES
Aged under 20 with medium education
Women with medium SES and education
Women aged over 65 with medium education
Men aged 20-34, Mexican-American, with low education and normal weight
• Latent class analysis sorted individuals into classes based on health behaviours: diet quality (national guidelines), physical activity levels (WHO recommendations), Sedentarism (≥7 hours/day) • Multinomial regressions characteristics of those at highest risk

The New Multi-Risk Factors OECD
Platform
• Open source, developed in C++
• Modular and upgradable
• Modelling timeframe: 1900-2050
• Geographical scope: Europe, (soon OECD; and beyond)
• Major risk factors and NCDs
• Healthcare costs
• Impact on labour outcomes / economy (by 2018)
– Absenteeism & presentism
– Welfare benefits & transfer payments
– Policies’ impact on the market for specific products (revenues, cost for industry
Modelling Framework: from birth to
death
Birth/Entry
• Birth • Inward
migration
Risk Factors
• Behavioural • Physiolog. • Environm. • SES
Diseases
• Incidence • Remission • Prevalence
• QoL • (Costs)
Death/Exit
• Death by disease
• Residual mortality
• Outward migration
Risk factors: Physical activity, alcohol, tobacco salt, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, [pollution]. Dietary dimensions to be added
Diseases: Stroke (3 types), IHD, Cancers (stomach, colorectal, lung, liver, breast), diabetes, COPD, cirrhosis, depression, Alzheimer /dementia, Injuries (2 types), MSDs (4 types) More diseases to be added (e.g. AUDs)
Considerations for food reformulation:
labelling and content
BMI reduction:
- Food reformulation
- Salt reduction
- Portion size changes
- Nutrition labeling
- Vending machine content replacement
- Product diversification (i.e. diet sodas,
flavored waters)
- Added Sugar reduction
Weaker evidence on: - Revenue impact for higher alcohol taxes

• Adding to the knowledge – information for OECD countries
• How consumers react – behavioural economics
• Bridging the gap with the private sector

SSB taxation impact in South Africa
Health impact Impact on health expenditure
Source: OECD analysis, forthcoming
• The interventions applies the SSB tax as designed by the South African National Treasury, an increase of R2.21 per litre or R0.0221 per gram of sugar on a litre over 4g/100ml, equivalent to a 12% effective tax rate at current prices and sugar content of soft drinks and concentrates (National Treasury, 2017). The tax is assumed to pass through to customers as in the baseline scenario of Manyema et al (2014). It is also assumed that the SSB industry does not put in place any intervention to reformulate SSBs. Reformulation by the industry would lead to smaller consumption changes but greater mean BMI changes.
• The own-price elasticity for SSB consumption is -0.77 meaning the 12% effective tax rate reduces SSB consumption by approximately 9%. It is assumed that a tax increase translates almost immediately into an increase in the price of SSBs. The price increase on SSBs increases fruit juice consumption by 6% (cross-price elasticity = 0.53) and diet drink consumption by 5% (cross-price elasticity = 0.44) (National Treasury, 2017).
