Burden of disease broad disease groups with age groups
- Burden of disease analysis is a technique that is used as a measure of population health. It is used to compare the impact of different diseases, conditions, injuries and risk factors on a population. This impact is a combination of the fatal (years of life lost due to premature death, YLL) and non-fatal (years lived in ill health or with disability, YLD) burden, they are then combined into a summary measure of health called Disability-Adjusted Life Years, or DALY. A DALY combines the impact of dying early and living with illness.
- In 2018 the disease groups with the highest age standardised Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) rates for the ACT were cancer (27.5 per 1,000 population), mental and substance use disorders (26.4 per 1,000 population), musculoskeletal conditions (26.4 per 1,000) and cardiovascular diseases (20.5 per 1,000 population).
