Global Disease Burden
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study provides comprehensive data on mortality and disability from various diseases and injuries worldwide. A key metric used is Disability-Adjusted Life Years(DALYs), which represent the total number of years lost due to ill-health, disability, or early death. A higher DALY value indicates a greater burden of disease.
Question 1/3:
Based on the table, which region has the highest burden of disease?

HEALTHY LIFESYLE
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for preventing diseases and promoting well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), key factors influencing health include nutrition, physical activity, and sleep patterns. The table below presents data on the average percentage of people following healthy habits in four global regions.
Question1/3:

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for preventing diseases and promoting well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), key factors influencing health include nutrition, physical activity, and sleep patterns. The table below presents data on the average percentage of people following healthy habits in four global regions.
Question 3/3:
A research study shows that a person who follows at least two of the healthy lifestyle habits reduces their risk of chronic diseases by 40%. If 80% of Europe's population follows at least two healthy habits, what is the probability that a randomly selected person in Europe has a reduced risk of chronic diseases?

DISEASESPREAD AND REPRODUCTION RATE
The spread of a disease can be explained using the basic reproduction number (R₀). This number shows how many people, on average,one sick person will infect.
I(n)= I₀ x( R₀)n
where:
I(n) = infected people after n transmission cycles
I₀ = initial infected people
R₀ = reproduction rate per cycle
Question1/1:
If avirus has R₀ = 2.5, and theoutbreak starts with I₀ = 10 cases, how manycases will there be after 3 cycles?
