What is a trend in data?
A trend is a general change or movement in a particular direction.
A trend could be a consistently increasing pattern over a period of time (E.g. An increase in the prevalence of a particular disease over time).
What is a relationship in data?
Relationships are between two factors. A relationship between two factors is where a change in one factor influences the other factor.
(Eg As age increases for both Indigenous and Non-Indigenous groups, the proportion of those who assess their health as fair/poor also increases) Relationships generally take into account the x and y axes.
What is life expectancy?
Life expectancy is defined as ‘the number of years of life, on average, remaining to an individual at a particular age if death rates do not change. (AIHW, 2018).
What is burden of Disease?
A measure of the impact of disease and injuries, specifically it measures the gap between current health status and an ideal situation where everyone lives to an old age free from disease, disability. It is measured in DALY’s.
What is DALY?
DALY (disability adjusted life year) is a measure of burden of disease, expressed as the number of healthy years of life lost due to illness and/or premature death.
DALY = YLL + YLD
YLL 🡪 Years of life lost due to premature death
YLD 🡪 Years of life lost due to illness or disability
Health adjusted life expectancy (HALE)
The number of years in full health that a person can expect to live based on current rates of ill health and mortality.
Unlike LE, HALE is an indicator of both quality and quantity of life.
