means giving everyone the same opportunities, care, and services.

The doctor might also believe that, as long as they treat everyone the same, they are not behaving in biased ways.

means ending institutional and discriminatory barriers that lead to health inequities and inequality. This includes factors within the healthcare system, such as racism and sexism, as well as factors outside the healthcare system, such as poverty and unequal distribution of resources.

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. They include factors like socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood and physical environment, employment, and social support networks, as well as access to health care

the average number of years a newborn baby could expect to live if current mortality trends were to continue for the rest of the newborn's life

1. Life expectancy at birth 2. Maternal mortality ratio 3. under 5 mortality rate

illnesses that are caused by a particular infectious agent and that spread directly or indirectly from people to people, from animals, from animals to people, or from people to animals

illnesses that are not spread by an infectious agent

preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

maternal mortality ratio (MMR) the number of women who die as a result of pregnancy and childbirth complications per 100,000 live births in a given year

1) education, 2) economics, 3) culture, 4) security, 5) genetic, 6) nutrition

1. rural people will be less healthy 2. disadvantaged ethnic minorities will be less healthy 3. women suffer from weak social positions 4. poor people less healthy 5. under-educated people tend to be less healthy

HIV/AIDS, TB, also heart disease, malaria

majority occurs in low/middle income countries\puts pressure on environment\creates need for more infrastructure and services

population of world is aging\creates implications for burden of disease; people live longer with morbidities & disabilities\healthcare financing adversely affected

a composite health indicator that measures the equivalent number of years in full health that a newborn can expect to live, based on current rates of ill health and mortality

Disability Adjusted Life Year; years lost due to illnesses and disabilities in a population. [DALYs and HALEs are composite measures that tell you about QUALITY of life]. 1. years of life lost & 2. years lived with disability

A measure of burden of disease, one DALY equals one year of healthy life lost due to premature death and time lived with illness, disease or injury.
