Chu et al. shows that osteoarthritis prevalence and DALYs are rising globally, driven by aging, high BMI, metabolic factors, and significant sex disparities. doi.org/10.4103/AGIN... #Osteoarthritis #GlobalHealth #Aging #DALYs #GBD #PublicHealth #Epidemiology

Burden of Disease in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): A Scoping Review - Applied Health Economics and Health Policy Objective Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious chronic and complex multi-system disease characterised by symptoms such as post-exertional malaise, fatigue, cognitive impairment and pain. Diagnosis is based on international consensus criteria, and no curative treatment is available. In the USA, its prevalence is estimated at 0.42% among adults, with women affected three times as often as men. Prevalence is expected to increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to its severe symptoms, ME/CFS has a substantial economic impact. This scoping review aimed to systematically examine the global health, social and economic burden of ME/CFS. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines in six databases and supplemented it with a citation search. We assessed study quality using a modified version of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results We included 20 studies that assessed costs (n = 16), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (n = 3), employment rates (n = 1), and school attendance (n = 1) as indicators of disease burden. Reported costs per patient ranged from USD 2,916 to USD 119,611, with indirect costs accounting for the largest proportion. DALYs reported for the USA ranged from 0.714 million in 2016 to 5.77 million in 2022. Conclusion ME/CFS imposes a substantial health, social and economic burden of disease. Discrepancies in estimates are probably due to differences in study samples, methodologies, cost components, and healthcare systems. Because ME/CFS is assumed to be underdiagnosed, its true burden may be even higher.

In groups with reduced fruit & #vegetable intake and increased processed #meat consumption, more disability-adjusted life years are lost… doi.org/10.1186/s129... #DALYs

Limited risks of nutrient deficiency and significant modelled health benefits of adherence to a moderate plant-based diet in French adults - European Journal of Nutrition Purpose In Western countries, plant-based diets could lead to long-term health benefits but also carry some risks of nutrient inadequacy. Here, we estimated the nutritional risks and health benefits o...
