*N denotes the 2015 population of 50 years.
†n denotes the sex-specific 50 years old population with obesity and was calculated based on the sex-specific and age-specific prevalences of obesity in the 2014/2015 WHO SAGE sample.
NHIS, National Health Insurance Scheme; OOP, out of pocket; QALYs, quality-adjusted life years; YLL, years of life lost.
