Presents discussions giving comparable regional and global estimates and projections of disease and injury burden based on a common set of methods denominated in a common metric. The discussions in the first part provide the conceptual underpinnings, methods and results of the global burden for disease. Their sensitivity to change in social values is discussed and the effect of changing their perspective from and incidence to a prevalence perspective explored. Among the issues discussed are the non-fatal health outcomes, causes of death, epidemiology of disability, quantifying the burden of disease and injury, and projecting mortality and disability.A summary booklet is also available.
