Impact of illness on social and economic development of a country or region
Disease burden is social and economic damage that arises due to the spread of a disease in a country or a specific region.
The social component of the burden includes: - excess mortality - decreased birth rates and life expectancy - temporary and long-term disability rates - losses in the number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) - disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and other indicators.
