GBD PROFILE: LEBANON

1 global burden OF DISEASES, INJURIES, AND RISK FACTORS STUDY 2010 The global burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) is a collaborative project of nearly 500 researchers in 50 countries led by theInstitute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. It is the largest systematic scientific effort in history toquantify levels and trends of health loss due to diseases, injuries, and risk factors. GBD serves as a global public good to informevidence-based policymaking and health systems OVERVIEWlIn terms of the number of years of life lost (YLLs) due topremature death in LEBANON , ischemic heart disease,cerebrovascular disease, and road injury were the highestranking causes in the 25 most important causes of burden , as measured bydisability-adjusted life years (DALYs)

Females aged 80+years saw the smallest decrease in mortality rate (16%).Percent decline in age-specific mortality rate by sex from 1990-2010 in LebanonCAUSES OF PREMATURE DEATHY ears of life lost (YLLs) quantify premature mortality by weighting younger deaths more than older chart shows thechange in the top 25causes of YLLs due topremature mortalityfrom 1990 to lines indicate acause has moved up inrank or stayed thesame.

7 The top five leadingcauses of YLDs in LEBANON are low back pain, major depressive disorder, iron-deficiency anemia, diabetes mellitus, and anxiety size of the coloredportion in each barrepresents the number ofYLDs attributable to eachcause. The height of each barshows which age groups hadthe most YLDs in 2010. Thecauses are aggregated. Forexample, musculoskeletaldisorders include low backpain and neck YLDs by cause and age 2010 DISABILITY-ADJUSTED LIFE YEARS (DALYs)Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) quantify both premature mortality (YLLs) and disability (YLDs) within a population.

8 In LEBANON , thetop three causes of DALYs in 2010 were ischemic heart disease, low back pain, and major depressive disorder. The causes that were inthe 10 leading causes of DALYs in 2010 and not 1990 were diabetes mellitus, iron-deficiency anemia, chronic obstructive pulmonarydisease, and anxiety top 25 causes of DALY sare ranked from left to rightin order of the number ofDALYs they contributed in2010. Bars going up show thepercent by which DALYs haveincreased since 1990. Barsgoing down show the percentby which DALYs havedecreased.
