BACKGROUND Increasing urbanisation and rising unhealthy lifestyle risk factors are contributing to a growing diabetes epidemic in South Africa. In 2000, a study estimated diabetes prevalence to be 5.5% in those aged over 30. Accurate, up-to-date information on the epidemiology and burden of disease due to diabetes and its sequelae is essential in the planning of health services for diabetes man...

Arabica coffee is the predominant commodity in contributing for foreign exchange Ethiopia and improvement yield other desirable traits highly momentous. Estimating genetic diversity a prerequisite activity plant breeding program crop improvement. This study was designed to determine extent of variability among Wollega landrace importance gene revealed traits. The 26 genotypes were tested during...

OBJECTIVE To present the methodological approach used to estimate injury morbidity (Years Lived with Disability, YLD) in the 2008 Global Burden of Disease study in Brazil (GBD-Br). METHODS YLD was based on the admission rate for injuries from both public and private sector facilities. Morbidity arising from emergency room (ER) visits was estimated using logistic regression models of the likel...

An overview of the results of the Australian Burden of Disease (ABD) study is presented. The ABD study was the first to use methodology developed for the Global Burden of Disease study to measure the burden of disease and injury in a developed country. In 1996, mental disorders were the main causes of disability burden, responsible for nearly 30% of total years of life lost to disability (YLD),...

BACKGROUND This paper is part of a project to identify the proportion of the burden of each mental disorder averted by current and optimal interventions, and the cost-effectiveness of both. AIMS To use epidemiological data on schizophrenia to model the cost-effectiveness of current and optimal treatment. METHOD Calculate the burden of schizophrenia in the years lived with disability (YLD) c...

BACKGROUND The Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) was designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to measure, compare, and analyze the burden of various diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the assessment of burden of traumatic spinal fracture (TSF) in an Iranian community. We estimated burden of TSF includes both isolated (iTSF) and associated injuries relat...

The disability adjusted life year (DALY) has been employed to quantify the burden of diseases. This measure allows for combining in a single indicator "years of life lived with disabilities (YLD)" and "years of life lost from premature death (YLL)" . The present communication attempts to estimate the burden of cancers in-terms of YLL, YLD and DALY for "all sites" and leading sites of cancer in ...

A carga da hanseníase continua a crescer no Brasil, principalmente em áreas endêmicas, ocasionando um grande número de pacientes com incapacidades físicas. Dessa forma, objetivamos mensurar e caracterizar relacionada à analisar seus padrões temporais Alagoas, entre 2001 2019. Para isso nós mensuramos os anos vida perdidos (YLL), vividos incapacidade (YLD) ajustados por (DALY) para Alagoas As mé...
