Monitoring the progress of health-related sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Brazilian states using the Global Burden of Disease indicators
Population Health Metrics - Tập 18 - Trang 1-14 - 2020
Measuring the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) has been the key to verifying the evolution of health indicators worldwide. We analyse subnational GBD data for Brazil in order to monitor the performance of the Brazilian states in the last 28 years on their progress towards meeting the health-related SDGs. As part of the GBD study, we assessed the 41 health-related indicators from the SDGs in Brazil a...... hiện toàn bộ
Improving program targeting to combat early-life mortality by identifying high-risk births: an application to India
Population Health Metrics - Tập 16 - Trang 1-7 - 2018
It is widely recognized that there are multiple risk factors for early-life mortality. In practice most interventions to curb early-life mortality target births based on a single risk factor, such as poverty. However, most premature deaths are not from the targeted group. Thus interventions target many births that are at not at high risk and miss many births at high risk. Using data from the secon...... hiện toàn bộ
Validity of silhouette showcards as a measure of body size and obesity in a population in the African region: A practical research tool for general-purpose surveys
Population Health Metrics - Tập 13 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
The purpose of this study is to validate the Pulvers silhouette showcard as a measure of weight status in a population in the African region. This tool is particularly beneficial when scarce resources do not allow for direct anthropometric measurements due to limited survey time or lack of measurement technology in face-to-face general-purpose surveys or in mailed, online, or mobile device-based s...... hiện toàn bộ
Serbia within the European context: An analysis of premature mortality
Population Health Metrics - Tập 7 - Trang 1-10 - 2009
Based on the global predictions majority of deaths will be collectively caused by cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and traffic accidents over the coming 25 years. In planning future national health policy actions, inter – regional assessments play an important role. The purpose of the study was to analyze similarities and differences in premature mortality between Serbia, EURO A, EURO B, and EURO ...... hiện toàn bộ
An improved method for physician-certified verbal autopsy reduces the rate of discrepancy: experiences in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (NHDSS), Burkina Faso
Population Health Metrics - Tập 9 - Trang 1-9 - 2011
Through application of the verbal autopsy (VA) approach, trained fieldworkers collect information about the probable cause of death (COD) by using a standardized questionnaire to interview family members who were present at the time of death. The physician-certified VA (PCVA), an independent review of this questionnaire data by up to three physicians trained in VA coding, is currently recommended ...... hiện toàn bộ
Family structure and multiple domains of child well-being in the United States: a cross-sectional study
Population Health Metrics - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2015
We examine the association between family structure and children’s health care utilization, barriers to health care access, health, and schooling and cognitive outcomes and assess whether socioeconomic status (SES) accounts for those family structure differences. We advance prior research by focusing on understudied but increasingly common family structures including single father families and fiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Current tobacco use and its associated factors among adults in a country with comprehensive ban on tobacco: findings from the nationally representative STEPS survey, Bhutan, 2014
Population Health Metrics - Tập 14 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Despite a comprehensive ban on cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of tobacco products since 2004, two nationwide surveys conducted in 2012 and 2013 reported high tobacco use in Bhutan. National Health Survey 2012 reported that 4 % of the population aged 15–75 years used smoked tobacco and about 48 % used smokeless tobacco. Similarly, Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) of Bhutan repor...... hiện toàn bộ
National and subnational mortality effects of metabolic risk factors and smoking in Iran: a comparative risk assessment
Population Health Metrics - Tập 9 - Trang 1-11 - 2011
Mortality from cardiovascular and other chronic diseases has increased in Iran. Our aim was to estimate the effects of smoking and high systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), and high body mass index (BMI) on mortality and life expectancy, nationally and subnationally, using representative data and comparable methods. We used data from the Non-Communic...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in liver-related mortality by etiology and sequelae: underlying versus multiple causes of death
Population Health Metrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
The expanded definition of liver-related deaths includes a wide range of etiologies and sequelae. We compared the changes in liver-related mortality by etiology and sequelae for different age groups between 2008 and 2018 in the USA using both underlying and multiple cause of death (UCOD and MCOD) data. We extracted mortality data from the CDC WONDER. Both the absolute (rate difference) and relativ...... hiện toàn bộ
Autoregression as a means of assessing the strength of seasonality in a time series
Population Health Metrics - Tập 1 - Trang 1-7 - 2003
The study of the seasonal variation of disease is receiving increasing attention from health researchers. Available statistical tests for seasonality typically indicate the presence or absence of statistically significant seasonality but do not provide a meaningful measure of its strength. We propose the coefficient of determination of the autoregressive regression model fitted to the data (
