Day 2 Session 2 Flashcards

GBD

1
Q

What is the global burden of disease study 2010?

A

1) A systematic scientific effort to measure the
comparative magnitude of health loss due to major
diseases, injuries and risk factors by age, sex,
country for 1990 and 2010.
2) By the numbers: 291 diseases and injuries, 1,160
sequelae of these diseases and injuries, and 67 risk
factors or clusters of risk factors.
3) Key principles: a) comprehensive; b) informed
estimates better than no estimates; c) comparability
matters (across countries, time, diseases, injuries,
risk factors, age and sex)

Q

What does years of life lost (YLLs) stand for?

A

Q

What does years lived with disability (YLDs) stand for?

A

for a cause in an
age-sex group equals the prevalence of any disabling
sequelae of that cause multiplied by the disability
weight for that condition (0,1), summed across all
conditions ( sequelae) due to that cause.

Q

What are the 5 overarching messages?

A

1) Demographic transition is shifting burden from
children to young adults.
2) Disease transition is leading to a larger fraction of
deaths from non-communicable diseases.
3) Disability transition is shifting the burden of
disease to conditions that cause disability but not
substantial mortality.
4) Risk transition is shifting the major risk factors from
those of poverty to lifestyle risks.
5) The leading health problems in sub-Saharan Africa
remain those related to the Millennium Development
Goals 4, 5 and 6.

A

7%

Q

What are the key health challenges for Australia: Implications of the GBD 2010 findings?

A

• Obesity is as important as tobacco as a cause of disease
burden in Australia and its health effects are rising
rapidly (40% increase in DALYs since 1990; 21% decline
for tobacco), but tobacco still major cause of health loss
• Poor diet is a leading cause of disease burden,
particularly low consumption of fruits, nuts, seeds, and
vegetables, and excessive salt intake
• Blood pressure and cholesterol declining as cause of
disease burden, due to continued declines in vascular
disease (50% decline since 1990)
• Alcohol (up 9%) and drug use (up 20%) remain in top 10
causes of disease burden in Australia
• Rising importance of Alzheimer’s disease( up 50-60%)
