12 important questions on Assingments
Person-years lived between ages x and x+1 =
n= length of time interval
Life Expectancy (LE) VS Years of Life Lost (YLL)
- measures what is being achieved
- average expressed for 1 person
- number of years someone can expect to live
Years of Life Lost (YLL)
- measures what is being lost
- is expressed for the whole population
- number of years of potential life lost if dying before a certain age
Expected and potential years of life lost ((EYLL)(PYLL))
- uses population life expectancy at the individual's age of death
- problem 1 = different countries may have different life expectancies
- changes in mortality change life expectancy
- alternative: reference is to an 'ideal' life expectancy
Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL)
- uses fixed age, typically 75
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
Survival curve: split by health
health expectancy: area representing good health
Can we make one single measure that takes severity into account? (opname van ernst)
health-adjusted life expectancy:
healthy years + part of unhealthy years (part = weighted with a 'disability weight')
(DALY) Disability-adjusted life-years
health gap measure that includes morbidity
Years of life lost berekenen
N = Number of deaths
L = life expectancy (in standard liftable) at age of death (years)
What is the essential data to calculate DALYs
- General
- demographic data (population numbers by age and sex)
- Years of life lost (YLL)
- epidemiological data on disease-specific mortality by age (and sex)
- age-specific life expectancy
- years lived with disability (YLD)
- epidemiological data on prevalence of disease (or: incidence and duration) by age (and sex)
- health status valuations (disability weights)
Why would you measure health and disease?
- population health
- trends
- differences between groups
Summary measures of population health (SMPH)
there are many aspects of health:
- mortality
- morbidity
- quality of life
- disability
- autonomy
- participation in society...
History of Global Burden of Disease (GBD); 3 gebeurtenissen
- World bank report (1993)
- expanded in the full publication on the fist GBD study (1990 (Murray and Lopez 1996))
- assessment of mortality and disability from disease
- first global burden of disease project
- new analysis
- development of the DALY
Three major objectives for global burden of disease (GBD)
- Inclusion of non-fatal health outcomes
- independent, objective evaluations
- measure comparable to that used in cost-effectiveness (QALY)
