National Burden Estimates of healthy life lost in India, 2017: An analysis using direct mortality data and indirect disability data
The Lancet Global Health Nov 15, 2019
Menon GR, Singh L, Sharma P, et al. - Experts created the National Burden Estimates (NBE) in order to give simple and clear disease burdens at the national and sub-national levels and to recognize differences in knowledge. In 2017, about 9·7 million deaths and 486 million DALYs in India were noted. The top 15 conditions that estimated for the most DALYs were principally those causing mortality (ischaemic heart disease, perinatal conditions, chronic respiratory diseases, diarrhea, respiratory infections, cancer, stroke, road traffic accidents, tuberculosis, and liver and alcohol-related conditions), with disability often because of a few conditions (nutritional deficiencies, neuropsychiatric conditions, vision and other sensory loss, musculoskeletal disorders, and genitourinary diseases). Thus, using understandable, spontaneous, and reproducible methods, the NBE method quantified the disease burden. To help policymakers in preference settings in India and other low-income and middle-income countries, it gave a simple, locally operable tool. The NBE highlights the requirement for many more countries to obtain the nationally-representative reason of death data, along with focused surveys of disability.
