NATIONAL ESTIMATION OF YEARS LIFE WITH DISABILITY (YLD) ATTRIBUTABLE TO OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE AMONG INDONESIAN ADULTS

Abstract

Obesity has become a major public health problem worldwide. High prevalence of obesity increased burden from non-communicable diseases. The burden of overweight and obese was calculated in this study from a payer perspective. The objective of the study was to estimate the burden of disease attributable to overweight and obesity among males and females aged 18 years and older using years of life with disability (YLD). An epidemiological study using prevalence based approach was used. An epidemiological study was conducted. Study period in the year of 2015 using data from GLOBOCAN, a database of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and National Social Security System was used. The incidence of ten diseases occurred between January 2015 and December 2015 were analyzed. Ten basic causes of diseases associated with overweight or obesity were included. The obesity attributable fraction (OAF), Obesity attributable incidence (OAI) and YLD were estimated. The overall burden attributable to overweight and obese was 495,940 cases and the estimated YLD per 10,000 persons was 241.5. Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were the most two causes of YLD (213.8 and 6.2 YLD per 10,000 persons consecutively). Obesity is substantial risk factor of non-communicable diseases that are main causes of loss of productivity. Burden of disease estimates attributable to overweight and obese can be used to inform population health monitoring, health policy formulation, health service planning and health promotion and management strategies.
