Global Burden of Disease Mortality 2019
Over time communicable diseases are…
Decreasing
Communablae diseases are more common in which countries?
Low income countries
Road injustice as a cause of death is more common in which countries
Low incom
Low income countries have more communacible death then high income
Yes
What are YLD’s
Years lived with disability
- this is a measure of non-fatal health loss
- takes into account the number of people in the health state of interest (prevalence or incidence times duration) and the severity of that health state (disability weight)
What is a YLL
- years of life lost
- this is a measure of fatal health loss
- it takes into account the number of deaths and the age at death
What are DALYS?
- a DALY is an integrated measure of health loss
- it is the sum of the years of life lost (YLLs) and years lived with disablilty and adjusted for severity (YLDS)
- one DALY represents the loss of one year of life lived in full health
What do DALYS measure?
Measures the gap between a populations’ current health status
and ideal health status
(Quantifying the Burden of Disease for mortality and morbidity)
Quantifying the Burden of Disease for mortality and morbidity
- there is a decreasing DALY rate
- increasing total number of DALYs due to the aging population
Demographic and Epidemiological Transition Theories
(Describes the changes in the global life explanatory over 222 years)
- two theories that occur together
- demographic transition explains:
- changes in population death and birth rates
- growth and changes in population over time
- epidemiological transitions exaplins:
- changes in population disease patterns over time
- communicable disease
- non - communicable diseases
- changes in population disease patterns over time
Demographic transition

Compression of morbidity
- Morbidity occurs later in life
- Slow the progression from chronic disease to disability
- Will create an increase in milder chronic disease but a decrease
in the period of time a person experiences severe disability - Maintain function and improve wellbeing
“Healthy older persons are a resource for their families, communities and the economy.”
We want to live longer in good health
epidemiological
transition
Disease patterns have changed over time from a
dominance of communicable disease to a dominance
of non-communicable disease
demographic transition
Populations have grown and changed over time; life
expectancy is increasing
Why is it important that when we enter older age, we
enter this era of life as healthy as possible?
the health of older individuals has a far-reaching impact on society by contributing to economic prosperity, knowledge transfer, community engagement, and the overall well-being of both individuals and the broader population.
