Mental disorders are among the leading causes of non-fatal disease burden in India, but a systematic understanding their prevalence, burden, and risk factors is not readily available for each state India. In this report, we describe prevalence mental disorder states from 1990 to 2017.We used all accessible data multiple sources estimate disorders, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) caused by these India 2017, as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries,...
Abstract We use COVID-19 case and mortality data from 1 February 2020 to 21 September a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious recovered) compartmental framework model possible trajectories of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections the effects non-pharmaceutical interventions in United States at state level 22 through 28 2021. Using this model, projections critical driving covariates (pneumonia seasonality, mobility, testing rates mask per...
National rates of COVID-19 infection and fatality have varied dramatically since the onset pandemic. Understanding conditions associated with this cross-country variation is essential to guiding investment in more effective preparedness response for future pandemics.
Timely, accurate, and comprehensive estimates of SARS-CoV-2 daily infection rates, cumulative infections, the proportion population that has been infected at least once, effective reproductive number (R
Background A sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax in Mexico has been effective reducing consumption of SSBs, with larger decreases for low-income households. The health and financial effects across socioeconomic groups are important considerations policy-makers. From a societal perspective, we assessed the potential cost-effectiveness, gains, impacts by position (SEP) 20% SSB Australia. Methods findings Australia-specific price elasticities were used to predict each Socio-Economic Indexes...
The aim of the ACE-Obesity Policy study was to assess economic credentials a suite obesity prevention policies across multiple sectors and areas governance for Australian setting. aimed place cost-effectiveness results within broad decision-making context by providing an assessment key considerations policy implementation. Assessing Cost-Effectiveness (ACE) approach priority-setting used. Systematic literature reviews were undertaken evidence intervention effectiveness on body mass index...
The Health Star Rating (HSR) system is a voluntary front-of-pack labelling (FoPL) initiative endorsed by the Australian government in 2014. This study examines impact of HSR on pre-packaged food reformulation measured changes energy density between products with and without HSR. cost-effectiveness was modelled using proportional multi-state life table Markov model for 2010 population. We evaluated scenarios which implemented mandatory basis (i.e., uptake across 6.7% 100% applicable products,...
Studies consistently find that supportive neighbourhood built environments increase physical activity by encouraging walking and cycling. However, evidence on the cost-effectiveness of investing in environment interventions as a means promoting is lacking. In this study, we assess increasing sidewalk availability one walking.Using data from RESIDE study Perth, Australia, modelled cost impact change health-adjusted life years (HALYs) installing additional sidewalks established neighbourhoods....
Reducing automobile dependence and improving rates of active transport may reduce the impact obesogenic environments, thereby decreasing population prevalence obesity other diseases where physical inactivity is a risk factor. Increasing relative cost driving by an increase in fuel taxation therefore be promising public health intervention for prevention. A scoping review evidence or activity effect changes price was undertaken. Potential benefits excise Australia were quantified using Markov...
