Module 4 Cheat sheet Q's Flashcards
Define Global Burden of Disease Project
summaries the burden of disease and injury at the population level,
using epidemiological principles and evidence
What are the Group 1 in Global Burden of Disease project
Communicable diseases,
nutritional defencies,
perinatal conditions
What are the Group 2 in Global Burden of Disease project
Noncommunicable diseases
What are the Group 3 in Global Burden of Disease project
Injuries
describe Risk Transition
the change in risk factor profiles from G1 causing risk to G2 causing risk as a country shifts from low to high income
What does the risk factor drive
Epidemiological transition
State the epidemiological transition
Characteristic shift in common death/disability causes from G1 (communicable, perinatal) to G2 (non communicable)
State the DALYS and what it enables
Summary measure:
combines data on premature mortality and non fatal health outcomes.
Enables diseases to be compared using just one measurement
What are DALYS used for
useful for testing intervention or assessment changes in disease burden over time
- mental health/ noncommunicable disease which cause loss of quality of life but not death
STATE the DALY equation and explain it
DALY= YLL+ YLD
YLL: years of live lost due to death
YLD: years of life lived with Disability
State the first limitation of DALYS
using: Willy
Who decides the weight of the years of life lost due to disability
State the first limitation of DALYS
using: Road
reasonable: having one global measurement for disease weights is not reasonable as different countries disabled population have different societal opportunities
State the first limitation of DALYS
using: Beer
Biological: only biological disability is looked at not societal or physical environment
State the first limitation of DALYS
using: Bottles
Burden: Potential for an individual to be viewed as a burden
