Introduction
Partners in Global Health Education
This module is
concerned with taking
an overview of
disease or ill health in
the world today. But
how can we measure
disease at the global
level?
The obvious and traditional approach is to measure
overall mortality in different countries. The next slide
shows some of the important, standardised mortality rates
that are universally accepted and have specific definitions.

Do we need other estimates of
disease burden?
• Both mortality rates and life
expectancy are useful – but do
not tell us anything about
disease burden in people living
with diseases
• This can best be captured by
trying to assess quality of life
• Another option to express
disease burden is in terms of
loss of productivity
• This is the background to the
Global Burden of Disease
(GBD) project: attempting to
estimate the total burden due
to diseases

In other words, the burden of disease is a measurement of the gap between the current
health of a population and an ideal scenario where everyone completes their full life
expectancy in full health.
The Global Burden of Disease project attempts to measure this total disease burden.

What is the GBD (2) ?
Partners in Global Health Education
• The GBD study is a collaboration between the WHO, the World Bank and
the Harvard School of Public Health.
• GBD is a measure of the amount of disease, disability, and death in the
world today. It is a product of complex and interwoven demographic,
economic, social, political, religious and environmental factors. It refers to
the collective impact of disease on the world population.
• Disease burden can be attributed to either specific diseases (e.g. HIV,
TB, obesity, diabetes) and also risks for ill health (unsafe sex,
overcrowding, smoking, excess cholesterol). Therefore, the measurement
of GBD allows us to address preventable diseases in each region of the
world - how much of risks to health could be avoided in future years.
• An important development of this project was a single indicator of total
disease burden – the DALY.

The DALY is the internationally-accepted measure of death and disability and is
increasingly cited as a powerful tool for decision makers in international health.
It is the sum of the number of years lost to premature mortality and the number of
productive years lost to disability. One DALY is equivalent to one lost year of healthy life.
Calculation of DALYs is based on the assumption that everyone in the world has a right to
the best life expectancy in the world. The only differences in the rating of a death or
disability should be due to age and sex and not to income, culture, location or social
class.
It’s attractiveness lies in the fact that it combines information about mortality and
morbidity in a single number. DALY allows the losses due to disability and the losses due
to premature death to be expressed in the same unit. Hence, DALYs facilitate
comparisons of different health states or health outcomes.

Why are DALYs important?
Partners in Global Health Education
DALYs attempt to provide an appropriate, balanced attention to the effects
of non-fatal as well as fatal diseases on overall health. In the absence of
such assessments, conditions which cause decrements in function but
not mortality tend to be neglected.

Risks rather than specific
diseases
Partners in Global Health Education
• An alternative way of looking at ill health is to consider
risks for disease rather than diseases themselves
• A risk is defined as the probability of an adverse health
outcome or a factor that raises this probability
• A single risk factor may underlie several diseases; e.g.
unsafe sex is a risk for HIV/AIDS, many other sexually
transmitted diseases and teenage pregnancy
• It is often more useful to direct health interventions
against risks rather than specific diseases
• DALYs have been assigned to health risks as well as
diseases

Relationship between risks to
health and disease burden
Partners in Global Health Education
Factors which threaten health and are widely spread in populations have been identified
in different regions of the world. These risks are strongly related to patterns of living
and particularly to consumption.
The vast majority of threats to health occur more frequently in the poor and in those with
little education and lowly occupations. Therefore, the leading risks to health identified
in developing countries are also the leading health risks at the global level:

Particularly affects young children, women during pregnancy and the elderly.
Unsafe sex - the main factor in the spread of HIV/AIDS. > 99% of HIV infections in
Africa are attributable to unsafe sex.
Unsafe water.
Poor sanitation and hygiene - about 2 million deaths from childhood infectious
diarrhoea still occur every year in the developing countries of the world.
Iron deficiency.
In-door smoke. Half of the world’s population is exposed to in-door pollution, mainly
the result of burning solid fuels for cooking and heating. Globally, it is estimated that
36% of all lower respiratory infections and 22% of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease are associated with in-door pollution.

What are the major risks to health in the developed world?
Sources of
information
Partners in Global Health Education
Overweight and obesity are important determinants of health which lead to adverse
metabolic changes, including elevated blood pressure, unfavourable cholesterol levels and
increased resistance to insulin. They raise the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke,
diabetes mellitus and many forms of cancer. According to the WHO World Health Report
2002, obesity on it’s own accounts for about 200,000 deaths in the United States of
America and Canada alone, and about 320,000 deaths in the 20 countries of Western
Europe.
Tobacco and excess alcohol consumption are major risks to health in the developed
world. Alcohol was estimated to cause 20-30% of oesophageal cancer, liver disease,
epilepsy, motor vehicle accidents, and homicide worldwide.
The world is living
dangerously, says Dr Gro
Brundtland (Former
Director General, WHO)
either because it has
little choice, which is
often the case among
the poor, or because it is
making the wrong
choices in terms of it’s
consumption and it’s
activities.

In the developing world:
• According to the World Health Report 2002, there has been an increase in the
consumption of alcohol and tobacco and an adoption of unhealthy lifestyles
synonymous with a Western life style.
• This has led to an increased incidence of obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular
diseases and conditions linked to them. Meanwhile, the burden of infectious disease
remains.
• The resultant burden, consequent on the combined impact of communicable and
non-communicable diseases, has been described as a “double whammy”.

• The next 3 slides show the disease burden
(measured by DALYs) attributable to 10 leading
health risks according to country group
• Note how single risks underlie several diseases
and how these relationships differ in different
regions
• Note that the total number of DALYs (x axis) is
much greater in the developing than the
