“…[17] Later on, Janković et al reported similar estimations of the burden of disease in Serbia for 18 diseases and conditions. [18] According to their assessment, IHD contributed to 26.1 DALYs per 1000 population in men, and to 14.1 DALYs per 1000 for women. [18] Using PAF for road-traffic noise, we extrapolated these data to 652.5 DALYs from IHD per million inhabitants among men and to 352.5 DALYs from IHD per million inhabitants among women attributable to road-traffic noise.…”

The aim of this pilot study was to calculate the disability-adjusted life years (DALY) as a quantification of the burden of myocardial infarction (MI) attributable to road-traffic noise in Belgrade, Serbia. Exposure to road-traffic noise was estimated on a sample of almost 6000 adult inhabitants living in the central municipality Stari Grad in Belgrade, Serbia. Each participant was assigned to daytime noise levels for 16 h exposure measured on the street of current residence. Population-attributable fraction of MI due to road-traffic noise was calculated based on the distribution of the population in different noise exposure categories and the respective relative risk of MI compared to the reference level. DALYs due to noise-related MI were calculated as the sum of years of life lost and years with disability. The contribution of road traffic noise to the occurrence of MI for the population of the municipality Stari Grad in Belgrade equals 2.518%. Total DALY for MI due to road-traffic noise results in 176 years, that is, 115 years for men and 61 years for women. When adjusted for the present size of the population in Belgrade, total DALY due to road-traffic noise equals 107 years/million inhabitants that is, 70/million inhabitants for men and 37/million inhabitants for women. The burden of disease due to road-traffic noise in Belgrade is relatively small but noteworthy from the public health point of view.

“…To calculate YLL, age-specific mortality rates were multiplied by agespecific standard expected YLL and population numbers. 9 To calculate the remaining years of potential life at any age at death, we used the standard model life table West Level 26 with a life expectancy at birth of 82.5 years for women and 80 years for men. 10 YLD is estimated by multiplying age-specific incidence rates by an average duration of each incident case (or, more precisely, of the associated disability until death or recovery) and average disability weight.…”

Burden of spinal cord injury in Tehran, Iran

et al. 2009

Study Design: Investigation of burden of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) using disease modeling. Objectives: The present paper is intended to estimate the SCI burden for the year 2008. Setting: Tehran, capital of Iran. Methods: Epidemiological data needed to calculate Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs) for SCI, was estimated according to prevalence, duration and relative risk of mortality using DISMOD software. For DALY calculation, the years of life lost because of premature mortality (YLL) was added to the number of years lost because of disability (YLD). To calculate DALYs for SCI, first year DALY calculated separately and for the next years, the DALY was assessed for six different clinical presentations of traumatic SCI including quadriplegia, quadriparesis, paraplegia, paraparesis, hemiplegia and hemiparesis. Results: In first year following SCI, the DALY was 3772 years, which has 0.5 DALY per 1000 people and YLL/DALY was 89.3%. Following the first year, the DALY was 435 for quadriplegia, 163 for quadriparesis, 868 for paraplegia, 164 for paraparesis, 26 for hemiplegia and 14 for hemiparesis. The total YLL for traumatic SCI was 4077 years and total YLD was 1364 years (total YLL/DALY was 74.9%) and total DALY was 5441 years, (M/F ¼ 2.0), which has 0.7 DALY per 1000 people in Tehran in 2008. Conclusions: This study showed a high burden for SCI. Identifying the risk factors of SCI, and performing cost-effective preventive interventions for reducing burden of SCI is recommended.

“…Years of life (during 1990s) under severe stress have brought depression and hopelessness, followed by general negligence towards health and increased risk behavior [15]. After that period, the health status of the population of Serbia was harmfully influenced by numerous factors (the long-lasting economic crisis, the consequences of war in the surrounding countries and in Serbia as well, economic and diplomatic sanctions) [16,17,18]. In addition to body weight, the amount of body fat and muscle mass is significantly increased during adolescence.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (% BF) among 1000 healthy adolescents (ages, 15-19 y) from different areas in Serbian Republic (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina), during 2014. In this study examined adolescents were divided into four groups after calculating BMI, and after the correlation between BMI and %BF. The obtained results show that there are significantly more (p < 0.01; p < 0.05) boys (ages, 15-18) with a healthy weight than girls. The correlation between BMI) and %BF was very strong, positive, among examined girls (r = 0.975) and boys (r = 0.752). In a group with normal % BF and increased BMI there were significantly more (p < 0.01) boys than girls, and the opposite situation were in a group with increased BMI and % BF, where it was significantly more (p < 0.05) girls than boys. Obtained results show that the majority of adolescents in the Serbian Republic have normal body weight, with a tendency of increase, especially among girls who are more prone to unbalanced nutrition.
