Individuals with mental disorders often develop comorbidity over time. Past studies of have restricted analyses to a subset and few provided absolute risks later comorbidity.To undertake comprehensive study within disorders, by providing temporally ordered age- sex-specific pairwise estimates between the major groups an interactive website visualize all results guide future research clinical practice.This population-based cohort included individuals born in Denmark January 1, 1900, December...
Persons with mental disorders are at a higher risk than the general population for subsequent development of certain medical conditions.
Mental health is a public issue for European young people, with great heterogeneity in resource allocation. Representative population-based studies are needed. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 provides internationally comparable information on trends the status populations and changes leading causes disease burden over time.
The nature and prevalence of combinations mental disorders their associations with premature mortality have never been reported in a comprehensive way. We describe the most common estimate excess associated these combinations. designed population‐based cohort study including all 7,505,576 persons living Denmark at some point between January 1, 1995 December 31, 2016. Information on was obtained from national registers. A total 546,090 individuals (10.5%) were diagnosed least one disorder...
The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ culture lifestyle, which might create country-wise differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, risk factors the region.
The association of mental disorders with premature mortality published in the Global Burden Disease (GBD) studies has been underestimated because these analyses have recommended using only a small number as causes death to estimate years life lost (YLL). Alternative methods introduced, such estimating life-years (LYL), compare individuals general population.To generate register-based YLL and LYL estimates use measurement assess specific mortality.This population-based cohort study included...
<h3>Importance</h3> Premature mortality has been observed among people with mental disorders. Comorbid general medical conditions contribute substantially to this reduction in life expectancy. <h3>Objective</h3> To provide an analysis of associated comorbidity between a broad range disorders and conditions. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Population-based cohort study 5 946 800 individuals born Denmark from 1900 2015 residing the country at start follow-up (January 1, 2000, or their...
Changes Over Time in the Differential Mortality Gap Individuals With Mental DisordersPeople with mental disorders have increased mortality rates and reduced life expectancies. 1,2The life-years lost (LYLs), which estimates expectancy for people a disorder compared general population, 1,3,4 been estimated to be 10 7 years, respectively, men women any disorder. 1,2For schizophrenia, LYLs related suicide unintentional deaths (ie, external causes) had fallen over 20-year period, but these gains...
Abstract Background Healthy life expectancy – sometimes called health-adjusted (HALE) is a form of health indicator that extends measures to account for the distribution states in population. The World Health Organization reports on healthy 192 WHO Member States. This paper describes variation average levels population across these countries and by sex year 2002. Methods Mortality was analysed disability from 135 causes assessed 17 regions world. surveys 61 were analyzed using new methods...
Abstract Background Injury remains a major concern to public health in the European region. Previous iterations of Global Burden Disease (GBD) study showed wide variation injury death and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates across Europe, indicating inequality gaps between sub-regions countries. The objectives this were to: 1) compare GBD 2019 estimates on mortality DALYs countries by cause-of-injury category sex; 2) examine changes DALY over 20 year-period category, sub-region...
Many countries have used the new ANACONDA (Analysis of Causes National Death for Action) tool to assess quality their cause death data (COD), but no cross-country analysis has been done verify how different or similar patterns diagnostic errors and are in they related local cultural epidemiological environment levels development.

Healthy life expectancy--sometimes called health-adjusted expectancy (HALE)--is a form of health indicator that extends measures to account for the distribution states in population. The World Health Organization has estimated healthy 192 WHO Member States using information from interview surveys and Global Burden Disease Study. latter estimates loss by cause, age sex populations. Summation prevalent years lived with disability (PYLD) across all causes would result overestimation severity...
Abstract The aim of the study was to undertake a detailed analysis healthcare cost, public transfer payments, and income loss associated with broad range mental disorders in Denmark. Based on all persons living Denmark, we identified those hospital diagnosis one 18 types 10 age- sex-matched controls per case. For each disorder, outcomes were nationwide totals, cost case, capita, investigated by sex, age strata, number years after diagnosis. We found substantial annual 5 billion Euros excess...
Abstract Background It is important to understand the effects of population ageing on disease burden and explore conditions that drive poor health in later life prevent or manage these. We examined development its components for major groups among older adults Europe over last 30 years. Methods Using data from Global Burden Disease 2019 Study, we analyzed trends between 1990 measured by years lost (YLL), lived with disability (YLD) disability-adjusted (DALYs) (65+ years) Western, Central...
The provision of different types mortality metrics (e.g., rate ratios [MRRs] and life expectancy) allows the research community to access a more informative set health metrics. aim this study was provide panel associated with comprehensive range disorders design web page visualize all results.In population-based cohort 7,378,598 persons living in Denmark at some point between 2000 2018, we identified individuals diagnosed hospitals 1,803 specific categories through International...

General medical conditions (GMCs) often co-occur with mental and substance use disorders (MSDs).To explore the contribution of GMCs to burden disease in people MSDs, investigate how this varied by age.A population-based cohort 6 988 507 persons living Denmark during 2000-2015 followed for up 16 years. Danish health registers were used identify MSDs GMCs. For each MSD, years lived disability loss proportion (HeLP) estimated comorbid GMCs, using a multiplicative model weights.Those any MSD...
