Q

Burden of Disease

A

a measure of the impact of diseases and injuries, specifically it measures the gaps between current health status and an ideal situation where everyone lives to an old age free of disease and disability. Burden of disease is measured in a unit called the DALY

Q

HALE - Health Adjusted Life Expectancy

A

A measure of burden of disease based on life expectancy at birth, but including an adjustment for time spent in poor health. It is the number of years in full health that a person can expect to live, based on current rates of ill health and mortality.

Q
