To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of a Mediterranean diet compared with a conventional low-fat diet for the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) in China.
Based on the clinical data from the CORDIOPREV trial, we developed a decision-tree Markov model to estimate the total costs and quality-adjusted life years(QALYs) associated with two dietary interventions from a societal perspective. Finally, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER) and incremental net monetary benefit (INMB) were calculated. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at 1-3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024. Model robustness was tested with one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
Over 20 years, the Mediterranean diet group incurred a cumulative total cost of 534 194.73 yuan per patient and gained 9.89 QALYs, whereas the low-fat diet group incurred a total cost of 466 877.72 yuan per patient and gained 9.55 QALYs. The ICER was 196 360.67 yuan/QALY, between 1 and 3 times the per capita GDP. At a threshold of three times China’s per capita GDP, the INMB was 31 071.64, and probabilistic sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the Mediterranean diet had a 57.68%probability of being cost-effective.
The Mediterranean diet is more cost-effective than the low-fat diet for secondary prevention of CHD in China, supporting its inclusion in secondary prevention strategies for CHD in China.
