Global Burden of Disease• Rationale (Why?)– Assess health status over time– Input to health decision-making and
planning processes
Global Burden of Disease – How?• Morbidity
indicators• Mortality indicators• Disability indicators• Nutritional status
indicators• Health Care
delivery indicators• Utilization Rates
• Indicators of Social and Mental Health
• Environmental Indicators
• Socio-economic Indicators
• Health Policy Indicators
• Indicators of quality of Life
Global Burden of Disease• Summary measures of
population health: measures that combine information on mortality and non-fatal health outcomes to represent the health of a particular population as a single number
History• 1940s: Concept of “Years of Life
Lost”.• 1971: Sullivan’s Index • 1983: Quality Adjusted Life
Expectancy (QALE).• 1990: GBD study – DALYs.• 1998: HeaLY• DALE, HALE, QALY, DFLE followed
SMPH - TypesHealth ExpectancyHealth expectancies measure years of life gained or years of improved quality of life.
– Disability-free life expectancy (DFLE)
– Disability-adjusted life expectancy (DALE)
– Healthy adjusted life expectancy (HALE)
– Quality adjusted life expectancy (QALE)
Health GapsHealth gaps measure lost years of full health in comparison with some ‘ideal’ health status or accepted standard.
– Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL)
– Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY),
– Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY)

• A = time lived in optimal health

Health Expectancy• Health expectancies are population
indicators that estimate the average time that a person could expect to live in a defined state of health
• Health Expectancy = A + f (B)

health• f (B) = function that assigns
weights to years lived in suboptimal health (optimal health has a weight of 1)
Health Gaps• Health gaps measure the difference
between actual population health and some specified standard or goal
• Health Gap = C + f (B)

• C = time lost due to mortality
• f (B) = function that assigns weights to health states lived during time B, but where a weight of 1 equals to time lived in a health state equivalent to death
DALEDisability Adjusted Life Expectancy
• DALE integrates data on– Mortality– Long – term institutionalization– Activity limitations
• Measures Quality and Quantity of life• A set of weights is assigned to four states
of health – no activity limitations– activity limitations in leisure activities or
transportation– activity limitations at work, home and/or school– institutionalization in a health care facility
HALEHealth Adjusted Life Expectancy
• Health-adjusted life expectancy is the number of years in full health that an individual can expect to live given the current morbidity and mortality conditions.
• Health-adjusted life expectancy uses the Health Utility Index (HUI) to weigh years lived in good health higher than years lived in poor health.
• Measure of quantity and quality of life
QALYQuality Adjusted Life Years
• Measures both quality and quantity• Used for cost-benefit analysis• Number of years added due to the
intervention
DALYDisability Adjusted Life Years
DALY is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the cumulative number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death
DALYObjectives
• Inclusion of non-fatal health outcomes in the debate on international health policy
• To quantify the burden of disease using a measure that could also be used for cost-effectiveness analysis.
DALYDisability Weights
• The ‘valuation’ of time lived in non-fatal health states
• Weights are measured as a number on a scale of 0 to 1, where 0 is assigned to a state comparable to death and 1 is assigned to a state of optimal health
• Because the DALY measures loss of health, the weights are inverted for DALY calculation with 0 representing a state of optimal health (no loss) and 1 representing a state equivalent to death.
DALYDisability Weights
• Weight for paraplegia of 0.57 - does not mean– Half dead– Halfway between life and death– Society values them as a person less than anyone else.
• A year with blindness (weight 0.43) > a year with paraplegia (weight 0.57) > a year with unremitting unipolar major depression (weight 0.76).
• A year in good health followed by death > a year with paraplegia followed by death.
• A person to live three years with paraplegia followed by death > one year of good health followed by death – (3 years x (1-0.57) = 1.3 ‘healthy’ years is greater than
1 year of good health).

DALYDiscounting
• The GBD applied a 3% time discount rate to years of life lost in the future to estimate the net present value of years of life lost.
• With this discount rate, a year of healthy life gained in 10 years’ time is worth 24% less than one gained now.
DALYDiscounting – Why?
• To be consistent with measurement of health outcomes in cost-effectiveness analyses
• To prevent giving excessive weight to deaths at younger ages
• Disease eradication/research paradox
DALY Calculations
DALY = Years Lived with Disability (YLD) + Years of Life Lost (YLL)
YLDYears Lived with Disability
• YLD = I x DW x L• I = number of incident cases• DW = disability weight• L = average duration of the case until
remission or death (years)
YLLYears of Life Lost
• YLL = N x L• N = number of deaths• L = standard life expectancy at age of death
in yrs
DALYCritique
• Doesn’t help determine the right intervention
• The true “burden” of disease will depend on the economic, family and social circumstances
• Multi-pathology is not the same as multi-causality.
DALYCritique
• Discriminates against young and the old
• Does not assess qualitative difference in outcomes
• No Male-Female difference in length of life
• Discounting future health outcomes
