Oct 4, 2024 · The disease burden (for example deaths, years of life lost or years lived with disability) attributable to a risk factor is the disease burden that would not have occurred if people had not been exposed to the risk factor in the past. Given that the basis of the information is all rooted in the past (exactly like in case of deriving the life ...

To help track risk exposures and the burden attributable to these exposures, many studies are published each year on the burden of specific risks, often in specific countries or regions. 4–7 To our knowledge, the only effort to examine attributable burden with standardised methods across a wide set of risk factors spanning all countries is the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk ...

Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives to facilitate the attainment of health goals in populations around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors, and the likely effects of proposed interventions. Critical to an effective assessment of risks and outcomes is a framework to integrate, validate ...

Global Burden of Disease 2021 risk factor factsheets. These two-page summaries offer a concise overview of risk factors modeled in GBD and the health loss attributable to them. The summaries feature a summary results statement, a definition of the risk, and a brief listing of modeling updates in GBD 2021 compared to previous GBD rounds.
Dec 12, 2022 · The GBD Study also measures the burden of disease attributable to 88 risk factors for disease. While understanding the underlying physiologic causes of death is important, rigorously evaluating upstream drivers of disease provides additional strategies to guide public policy.
what fraction of a national or subnational disease burden is attributable to an environmental risk factor. To assess the disease burden of a risk factor, the harmful effects of the risk factor on human health must be estimated fully, as well as the distribution of the harmful effects in the population.

Jun 25, 2023 · Objectives Within the framework of the burden of disease (BoD) approach, disease and injury burden estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation and priority setting in disease prevention. Considering the important differences in methods, and their impact on burden estimates, we conducted a scoping literature review to: (1) map the BoD assessments including ...
