Document Summary

Cancer and cvd are the greatest contributors to the global burden of disease (gbd), a method of quantifying the burden of premature morbidity, disability, and death for a given disease or disease group. Gdb is measured in disability adjusted years (dalys) or years lived in ill health or. Both cvc and cancer are chronic diseases(prolonged illness that usually does not disability have a cure) Lo 1: explain the incidence, prevalence, outcomes, and impacts of cardiovascular disease in the united states and blood vessels - had declined by nearly 33% in the last decade. Death rates from cardiovascular disease (cvd) -diseases associated with the heart. Yet about 1 out of 3 adults suffer from one or more cvds (more among aas) #1 cause of death/leading killer for both men and women. Improvement in death rates due to better diagnosis, early intervention and treatment and a multi-billion dollar market in drugs designed to help the circulatory system.

What is the essential difference between prevalence & incidence? Why do we need 2 different measures? Couldn't we just use one instead? And if so, which one would you pick?The last paragraph on page 29 states âVariations across regions in the risk of cancer are best shown using age-standardized incidenceâ

Explain why the authors think using age-standardized incidence rates would be âbestâ?

What changes would you expect to see in Figure 18 if the authors had used crude incidence rates instead?

The measure YLD reported in section 13 of Part 3 is similar to the DALY measure in Gordis.

Explain why diseases such as heart disease and cancer (which are leading causes of death worldwide) rank lower than things like unipolar depressive disorders and hearing loss when we look at YLD?

Examine the results for Alzheimerâs and other dementias in Table 7. Which regions have the highest rates and which have the lowest? What factors could help explain these results?

Examine the results for âHearing lossâ in Table 9. Would it be correct to state that the risk of hearing loss increases with age? Explain why or why not.

What questions did you have about the Unit 1 material (if you don't have any, it is okay or if you think of one later and add it as a reply that is fine too.)
