Presentation Transcript

1. Projections of the disease burden Vegard Skirbekk Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Columbia University

2. Projections Projections From expert input to statistical calibration of models Scenarios particularly important to model non-linear trends, e.g., climatic change, technological breakthroughs, conflicts, migration flows Dimensions of health relevant to project have low levels of uncertainty Disease trends, mortality trends with long monotonic trends Changes in risk factors predicting early disease Predictable risk factors, e.g., those that follow identified age- patterns, cohort-trends, where period shocks are infrequent/low likelihood Also account for eductational, value-based, work-relate change that is deemed likely to occur

3. Projected overall number of deaths, Norway, 2013-2030.

4. from Cancer

5. from Cardiovascular diseases

6. Injuries and Falls

7. Other Causes

8. Cause of death (%) Trend alternative

9. Findings Simple scenario based projection exercise Decreased CVD if trend continues, stable proportion Cancer, Injuries and falls Strong increase in Other Causes (including Alzheimer dementia)

10. Risk factors

11. Norway from high to low overweight prevalence Western Europe Norway

12. Overweight 7-8 year olds

13. Lifestyle determinants that could be projected: Beliefs & education

14. Religion and education relates to health risk factors Education affects a number of risk factors, including risk of Alzheimer s dementia Lifestyles increasingly important for health outcomes. Lifestyles health risk factors (e.g., diet, alcohol use), disease risks and longevity. Specific risk factors less tolerated in certain religions, e.g., AIDS may be more stigmatized in religions opposed to same-sex relationships, suicide may be forbidden (Stack and Kposowa2011). Growth in Hinduism can affect vegetarianism and possible health impacts Health may also affect religion and fear of death can be an important determinant of religion. Psychological and environmental uncertainty correlates with religious belief (Barber 2011).
