✦ Synopsis

Interventive action aimed at reducing the incidence of an irreversible chronic noncommunicable disease in a population has various effects. Hopefully, it increases total longevity in the population and it causes the disease to develop later in time in a smaller portion of the population. In this paper a statistical model is built by which these effects can be estimated. A three dimensional probability density function that underlies this model is changed by the interventive action. It is shown how a three dimensional utility function can be defined to appropriately judge this change.
