“…The results of the sensitivity analysis for burden of dental caries and PD in 2015 are presented in Figure . The leading causes of DALYs were obtained with permission from the KBoD Study 2015 and displayed in Table . According to the criteria used in this study, the burden of disease due to dental caries ranked 25th on the leading cause of DALYs list with 333 DALYs per 100 000 population, while PD ranked 12th on the list, with 552 DALYs per 100 000 population.…”

Objectives: It is essential to measure and monitor the burden of dental caries and periodontal disease (PD) in Korea's ageing population due to their potential impact on morbidity, quality of life and economic condition. This study aimed to quantify the size of burden of dental caries and PD using the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and their trends.Methods: DALYs were estimated using incidence-based approaches to calculate the burden of dental caries and PD from 2013 to 2015 in Korea. Incidence and prevalence were estimated using medical claim data by specific algorithms. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to investigate possible weakness in the study methodology. To conduct the sensitivity analysis, we modified the algorithms to estimate prevalence and incidence.

“…To estimate incidence, a washout period (WP) was used from at least 1‐5 years. The WP was set to isolate the new cases within the study year from new cases in previous years . Therefore, the following algorithm was used in the present study.…”

“…We measured YLD by incidence-based approach by considering the prevalence, incidence, fatal, mortality, duration of disease, and disability weight for 260 disease groups, and this was used as the number of healthy years lost to calculate HALE. The 260 causes list and other detail methodology refer to the Korean National Burden of Disease study [15].…”

Background This study aims to calculate the health-adjusted life years (HALE) by using years lived with disability from the national claims data and aims to identify the differences and inequalities in income level and region. Methods The study was carried out on total population receiving health insurance and medical benefits. We calculated incidence-based years lived with disability (YLD) for 260 disease groups, and this was used as the number of healthy years lost to calculate HALE. We adopted the insurance premium to calculate the income as a proxy indicator. For the region classification, we chose 250 administrative districts to cover the whole country. Results The primary outcome was HALE in the Korean population. The second outcome was the HALE’s gap in terms of income and region. HALE increased from 2008 to 2016. Results by gender suggest that HALE in males increases faster than in females. Results by income level show that HALE is higher in higher income level. In 2016, the gap in HALE between Q1 and Q2, the lower income group, was about 5.10 years. The gap in females by income level was smaller than that in males, which can be because males have greater inequality in terms of HALE by income level. Moreover, the gap in HALE by region was found to increase. Conclusions Results suggest that there is an inequality in years of living with disability in terms of income level in Korea. Therefore, we need intensive management for the low-income group to promote HALE at the national level.
