Impact of intervention targeting risk factors on chronic disease burden

Abstract: The aging of the population is accompanied by a sharp rise of chronic disease prevalences, such as dementia. These diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured and persist over time, with a progressive deterioration of health, requiring specific care. To reduce the burden of these diseases, it is appropriate to propose interventions targeting disease risk factors, but the association between most of these risk factors and mortality makes it difficult to anticipate the potential impact of such interventions.… Show more

“…We estimate the number of PD patients, the life expectancy for individuals with PD (LE 11 ), and the lifetime risk of PD (F 01 ) for all ages older than 45 years and each year of birth. The statistical method is described in detail in Wanneveich and colleagues . In this paper, we provide projections for the year t = 2030; all analyses are sex stratified.…”

“…Since registry data usually do not report the causes of death it is a difficult task to estimate the risk of death without cancer. This has been studied, for instance, in Wanneveich et al [ 7 ] through an illness-death model, using registry data and differential equations to model the specific causes of death. Nevertheless, it is very likely that the gain in terms of predictions would be minor as mortality from all causes is likely to be close to mortality without cancer.…”

“…Ignoring the risk of death would amount to assuming that death cannot happen and would therefore lead to overestimating the cumulative incidence (the probability of having the disease before any time point). Famous examples of such situations include dementia where the patients are of a particularly advanced age and have a high risk of dying as in Jacqmin-Gadda et al [ 6 ] or Wanneveich et al [ 7 ], or studies on geriatric patients (see, e.g., [ 8 ]).…”

The above methods, based on analytic computations of epidemiological indicators in continuous time, assumed that the risk factor was acquired at mid-life.…”
