The Global Burden of Disease Project
• International consortium, IHME, Seattle
– 1050 experts, 106 countries
• Compared by Bill Gates to the Human
Genome Project
• The Norwegian Institute of Public Health
– National study
Malaria
HIV/AIDS
GBD 2013: Years of life lost
Violence
Stroke Road traffic accidentts
Ischemic heart disease
GBD
• Aims to
– provide a comprehensive and coherent assessment
of the state of the world’s health from 1990 to present
• GBD 2010 Study
– 291 conditions, 67 risk factors
– Published in a dedicated Lancet triple issue 2012
• GBD 2013 ongoing
– 188 countries
– 5 papers published in the Lancet 2014-15
– 3 more to come

Burden of disease in Nordic countries
• We know:
– Trends in mortality and morbidity
– Magnitude
– Patterns
– Risk factors
• Caveats:
– Data are sparse for some conditions
– Gaps are filled by advanced statistical modeling
Global Health Priorities
Relevance for planning and priority setting
• WHO World Health Assembly NCD
Resolution (2012)
– Reducing premature death from NCDs by
25% from 2010 to 2025* * (uniformly age-standardized mortality rates at ages 30–69 years)
• Norwegian Committee on Priority
Setting in the Health Sector (NOU
2014: 12)
– Pursue the goal of ‘the greatest number of
healthy life years for all, fairly distributed’

Summary
• The Global Burden of Disease study provides:
– Levels and trends in mortality and morbidity
– Distribution of burden by year, age and sex
– By condition and risk factors
• Highly relevant for planning and priority setting in the
Nordic countries
• Nordic collaboration would be welcome
