Zusammenfassung
Anliegen: Beschreibung von Gesamtmaßen der Gesundheit einer Population, wie verlorene Lebensjahre oder behinderungsbereinigte Lebensjahre. Methode: Narrative Literaturdurchsicht. Ergebnisse: „Health-Expectancy”-Maße definieren die Lebenserwartung einer Bevölkerung, „Health-Gap”-Maße die Differenz zwischen dem augenblicklichen Ist-Zustand und einem normativen Standard. Gesamtmaße der Gesundheit einer Bevölkerung schließen sowohl die Mortalität als auch die Morbidität einer Bevölkerung mit ein. Schlussfolgerungen: Trotz methodischer Schwächen informieren Gesamtmaße der Gesundheit politische Entscheidungsträger über eine verbesserte Allokation von Ressourcen im Gesundheitswesen.
Abstract
Aims: To describe summary measures of public health such as life years lost or disability adjusted life years. Methods: Narrative literature review. Results: Health expectancy measures define the life expectancy in a population, and health gap measures the difference between the actual situation and a normative standard. Summary measures of public health include both mortality and morbidity of a population. Conclusions: Despite some methodological problems summary measures of public health inform policy makers about a better allocation of resources in the public health sector.
