Global Disease Burden

Global Disease Burden refers to the impact of health problems worldwide, measured in terms of mortality, morbidity, and disability. It encompasses the total effect of diseases, injuries, and risk factors on populations, considering both the number of lives lost and the years individuals live with health complications. Researchers use this data to prioritize public health initiatives, allocate resources effectively, and improve health outcomes. Understanding the disease burden helps policymakers and health organizations identify pressing health issues and develop strategies to reduce preventable diseases and enhance overall well-being across different regions.
