Global burden of dz online course
1. How can we measure disease
at the global level?
(Global Burden of Disease)

6. Life expectancy
⢠The average number of years of life at a given age in a population if
the current mortality experience were to continue
⢠âat a given ageâ; So, it varies by age
⢠Life expectancy at birth
⢠The average number of years a new-born baby could expect to live if current
trends in mortality were to continue for the rest of the new-born's life
⢠How long they will live if conditions remain as in a country in a
specific year during their whole lifetime?

13. Question
⢠The life expectancy is 31 years higher in Sweden (81 years) than in
Burundi (50 years). Why?
â Is it because all Swedes live 31 years longer than all Burundians?
⥠Is it because some Swedes live much longer than all Burundians?

But âdying youngâ in Sweden
is very different
from âdying youngâ in Burundi
âTo live longâ in Sweden
is almost the same as
âto live longâ in Burundi

⥠Is it because some Swedes live much longer than all Burundians?
16. Summary of Life expectancy
1) Life expectancy is an average
:Most Burundi people get older than 65 years and
some die in childhood.
2) Life expectancy is low when child
deaths are common
:It is low in Burundi not because all die a bit earlier,
but because some die much younger
16
17. Do we need other estimates of disease
burden?
Due to the rise in importance of chronic diseases as
the leading cause of death, along with growing
numbers of the very old,
Both mortality rates and life expectancy are useful,
but
They do not tell us anything about disease burden in
people living with diseases
17
18. Global Burden of Disease(GBD)
⢠The GBD study is a collaboration between the WHO,
the World Bank and the Harvard School of Public
Health.
⢠The concept was firstly published in 1996.
⢠It attempts to estimate the total burden due to
diseases.
⢠Constituting the most comprehensive and
consistent set of estimates of mortality and
morbidity yet produced.
18
19. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)
â˘A single indicator of total disease burden
â˘Combining information about mortality
and morbidity in a single number.
â˘Internationally accepted measure of
death and disability
â˘Increasingly cited as a powerful tool for
decision makers in international health.
19
20. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)
Interpretation: One DALY = one lost year of healthy life
Ideal health
Current health DALY
21. All deaths are equal?
⢠âPrematureâ death deserves special attention
⢠Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to premature death
21
YLL= N X L
N = number of deaths
L = standard life expectancy at age of death in years
22. Death is not the only thing that matters
Years of healthy life Lost due to Disability (YLD)
22
YLD= I x L x DW
I = number of incident disability cases
L = average duration of the case until remission or death (years)
DW = disability weight
(the severity of the disease:0 (perfect health) to 1 (dead))
23. Disability-Adjusted Life Year
(DALY)
Facilitate comparisons of different health states or
health outcomes.
â˘Compare the health of one population with another â and
allow decision makers to focus on health systems with the
worst performance
â˘Compare the health of the same population at different
points in time
â˘Compare the health of subgroups within a population - to
identify health inequalities
23
24. Disability-Adjusted Life Year
(DALY)
Facilitate comparisons of different health
states or health outcomes.
=> DALYs help to inform debates on
priorities for health service delivery,
research and planning.
24
25. â˘Disease burden can be attributed to
⢠specific diseases (e.g. HIV, TB, obesity,
diabetes) and
⢠risk factors for ill health (unsafe sex,
overcrowding, smoking, excess cholesterol,
low FV).
25
28. Why are DALYs important?
⢠Allows to address PREVENTABLE DISEASES in each region of the world
- how much of risks to health could be avoided in future years.
⢠DALYs attempt to provide an appropriate, balanced attention to the
effects of non-fatal as well as fatal diseases on overall health.
28
29. Summary of
Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY)
⢠The sum of years of life lost and years of life lived
with disability.
⢠A summary measure of overall disease burden in
a population, combining mortality and disability.
⢠Measuring a health gap, relative to an âidealâ life
expectancy
⢠Currently the best indicators available now to set
priorities for resource allocation.
30. Thank you for your attention!!!
Three Questions are following^^
31. The life expectancy at birth in Burundi is 50 years
Question 1: What is correct?
(1) We will rarely see elderly people (>65) in Burundi
(2) We will still see a bunch of elderly people in Burundi
31
32. The life expectancy at birth in Sweden is 81 years
The life expectancy at birth in Burundi is 50 years
Question 2: So, do most Swedes live 31 years longer
than Burundian?
(1) Yes
(2) No

Question True False
1 Life expectancy at birth is strongly
associated with mortality in childhood.

2 DALYs capture the number of healthy
years lost to disability only.

3 The calculation of DALYs involves an
index of the disability attributed to
specific diseases
