4. Learning Objectives for January 29 Introduce the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study Learn the Meaning of: 1) Years of Life Lost, 2) Years Lost to Disability, and 3) Disability-adjusted life years lost as measures of mortality and morbidity 4

5. Learning Objectives Review global trends in mortality andmorbidity Compare trends in KSA to global trends Identify the major causes of death and disability globally and in KSA Identify the major risk factors that cause death and disability 5

6. The Global Burden of Disease Study GBD was launched in 2007 to develop systematic global data on morbidity, mortality, and their causes. It is directed by a consortium of seven partners, including Harvard University, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, and the WHO. It’s mission is to provide systematic global data on disease, injuries, and risk 6

7. The Global Burden of Disease Study GBD 2010 was a massive effort to report mortality and morbidity data for 187 countries Data were reported for 235 diseases and injuries, along with 67 behavioral, medical, and environmental causes. Almost all of the December 15, 2012 issue of The Lancet is devoted to results from GBD. 7

10. Years of Life Lost Years of Life Lost (YLL) is calculated by comparing the years lost by a premature death relative to the highest life expectancy for males or females in any country for that age group. Example: If a 20-year old male died in a car accident in KSA in 2010, he lost 66 years of expected life based on the highest life expectancy among 20-year-olds, namely, 86 years for 20-year old females in Japan. 10

11. Data Visualization The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation website provides many tools for displaying the results of the GBD study. One such tool is GBD compare. It displays health levels and trends in one interactive tool. It also enables comparisons between and within countries. To begin, we display the numbers of years of life lost by cause of death for all countries combined. 11

23. Global Highlights Life expectancy is increasing for both men and women The burdens of HIV and malaria are falling Far fewer children younger than 5 are dying Infectious diseases are being controlled Huge global disparities Tuberculosis and malaria each killed 1.2M people in 2010 Deaths by road traffic injuries have increased by 50% 23

24. Years Lost to Disability (YLDs) YLD was developed to account for the health burden of disability. Each disability is assigned a weight. The years lost due to that disability (YLDs) are calculated as the duration of a disability multiplied by the disability weight. A weight of 0 represents perfect health, a weight of 1 is equivalent to death For example, if the disability weight after myocardial infarction is 0.439 and life expectancy after MI is 20, YLD = 0.439*20 = 8.78 24

31. Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) DALYs is the sum of years of life lost (YLL) and years of healthy life lost to disability (YLD) DALYs = YLL + YLD 31
