1. Health Impact of NCDs
2. 1. Mortality and morbidityMortality Considerations:Use metrics that focus on premature mortalityYears of life lost Compared to a uniform standard across the region?Mortality before age 70 (or lower)Proportions of death within an age category (percent of CVD deaths before age…)Need for better data to allow comparisons
3. 1. Mortality and Morbidity (cont.)For MorbidityPrevalence of the following:HypertensionObesityDiabetesCancerCardiovascular disease (ischemic, cerebrovascular)Renal failureAsthmaCOPDDementiaCirrhosis
4. 1. Mortality and Morbidity (cont.)For mortality, morbidity, and risk factors:Focus on inequities and describe by:SexEthnicityEducationUrban/ruralGDPIf data not available for subgroups, consider case-studies of particular countries with data to highlight these issues (e.g. ethnicity).
5. 2. Risk FactorsImportant to bring in how risk factors are tied to social determinants of health. One approach may be to take a risk factors as a case study and explore upstream factors.Risk factors:TobaccoPhysical inactivityPoor nutritionAlcoholOccupational exposureAir pollution (indoor/outdoor)
6. 3. Social determinantsIntegrated throughoutAll disease metrics broken out by subgroups as availableDiscussion of risk factors explicitly linked to social determinants.
7. 4. DisabilityInclude DALYs as the summary metric.Report age decades to highlight impact of lost productivity due to death and/or disability
