BackgroundDespite a substantial reduction in the use of solid fuels worldwide, exposure to household air pollution (HAP) from these for cooking remains leading risk factor global disease burden. Among environmental factors, contribution HAP burden is second only ambient particulate matter pollution. We present updates our modeling methodology as well latest findings on attributable estimates.Me...
BACKGROUND An analysis of NIH funding in 1996 found that the strongest predictor of funding, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), explained only 39% of the variance in funding. In 1998, Congress requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) evaluate priority-setting criteria for NIH funding; the IOM recommended greater consideration of disease burden. We examined whether the association bet...

BACKGROUND The relationship between research funding across therapeutic areas and the burden of disease in Norway has not been investigated. Further, few studies have looked at the association between national research investments and the global disease burden. The aim of the present study was to analyze the correlation between a significant part of Norwegian investment in health research and t...
BACKGROUND WHO's global burden of disease studies, undertaken since 1996, apportion the total global disease burden, measured in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), to specific diseases and injuries. Recent assessments of the relative burden due to specific environmental risk factors, plus an understanding of the nature of the risk factor, may guide resource allocation in risk factor manage...
