Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are common diseases with a heterogeneous distribution worldwide. Here, we present methods risk estimates for COPD from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) 2015 study. The GBD study provides annual updates on deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), summary measure fatal non-fatal outcomes, over 300 injuries, 188 countries 1990 to most recent year.
Abstract Background The European Union (EU) faces many health-related challenges. Burden of diseases information and the resulting trends over time are essential for health planning. This paper reports estimates disease burden in EU individual 27 countries 2019, compares them with those 2010. Methods We used Global Disease 2019 study 95% uncertainty intervals whole each country to evaluate age-standardised death, years life lost (YLLs), lived disability (YLDs) disability-adjusted (DALYs)...
Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a public health problem in Europe, affecting all age groups. Several MetS definitions are available. The aim of this study was to compare four different the Finnish adult population, assess their agreement and evaluate impact choice definition on prevalence MetS. Methods Data from FinHealth 2017, cross-sectional national population survey, focusing adults aged 25 years or older were used analysis ( n =5687). Measured data anthropometrics,...
In Spain the average temperature has increased by 1.7 °C since pre-industrial times. There been an increase in heat waves both terms of frequency and intensity, with a clear impact population health. The effect on daily mortality presents important territorial differences. Gender also affects these impacts, as determinant that conditions social inequalities is evidence women may be more susceptible to extreme than men, although there are relatively few studies analyze differences...
This study aimed to report mortality, risk factors, and burden of diseases in Spain. The Global Burden Disease, Injuries, Risk Factors 2019 estimates the due 369 diseases, injuries, impairments 87 factors factor combinations. Here, we detail updated Spain 1990-2019 disease project certain metrics up 2030. In 2019, leading causes death were ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary Alzheimer's lung cancer. Main disability adjusted life years (DALYs) diabetes, cancer, low...
Introduction: High levels of air pollution increase respiratory morbidity in children under five years age.Objective: To know the incidence symptoms and its associated factors localities Bogota.Materials methods: A dynamic cohort study was undertaken with a sample size 3,278 from split into two groups according to degree exposure particulate matter. Monitoring conducted at outbreak ten through diary those symptoms. Statistical analysis included rate ratio (IRR) calculations Poisson...
Establishing mercury and lead prevalence in a sample of people living Bogotá, potential effects on their health the relationship with areas environmental exposure.This was cross-sectional study involving randomly proportionally distributed 401 according to locality high, medium low risk exposure. A medical assessment made (in blood) levels (blood, hair, urine) quantified. preliminary descriptive analysis made.The participants were aged 3-91 years-old (mean 46), most frequently occurring...
Within the framework of burden disease (BoD) approach, and injury estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation priority setting in prevention. Considering important differences methods, their impact on estimates, we conducted scoping literature review to: (1) map BoD assessments including performed across Europe; (2) identify methodological choices comparative assessment (CRA) methods.We searched multiple databases, grey websites targeted public health...
Introduction: Acute respiratory infection is one of the most significant causes morbidity in Bogota, and its burden disease has increased association with climate variability.Objective: The aim study was to evaluate weekly trends acute relation meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity cumulative rainfall) Bogota during 2011 2012.Materials methods: Epidemiological data from 104 weeks were gathered. Temporal variability taken into account including previous spatial considered...

Monitoring conducted at outbreak ten through diary those symptoms. Statistical analysis included rate ratio (IRR) calculations Poisson regression models for each assessed symptom.Cough...
Non-Communicable diseases (NCD) are the main contributors to mortality and burden of disease. There is no infrastructure in Europe that could provide health information (HI) on Public Health monitoring Systems Performance (HSP) for research evidence-informed decision-making. Moreover, there was EU European Economic Area Member States (EU/EEA MSs) general consensus, developing this initiative guarantee its sustainability. The aim study analyze integration technical political views made by...
Silicosis is an occupational respiratory disease linked to silica dust inhalation. The main driver was traditional coal mining, but in recent decades, new sources of exposure have emerged. Our aim this study assess the temporal and spatial distribution mortality due over a 22-year period Spain.
The airport of Bogotá lies within the city and its expansion could produce an increase in adverse effects on health inhabitants Fontibón Engativá districts due to noise it generates.To determine prevalence sleep disturbances associated factors among residents exposed this noise.A cross-sectional study design was used, involving a sample 205 people aged 18 65, selected by means stratified random sampling. Sleep quality evaluated using Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI) Epworth Sleepiness Scale...
Introducción: El ruido es una de las principales causas preocupación para muchas poblaciones, ya que incide en la calidad vida y, además, puede provocar efectos nocivos sobre salud. Uno sus pérdida audición (hipoacusia), ser reversible o permanente, pues progresa con lentitud, forma proporcional exposición. Objetivos: Implementar un estudio monitorización los auditivos y no salud determinando niveles poblacional ambiental docentes localidades Fontibón Engativá, contribuya construcción del...
