Abstract
Objective To give overview of the trend of disease burden on Hepatitis B during 2009-2013 in Chaoyang district, Beijing. Methods According to epidemical data and death information, Disability Adjusted Life Years(DALYs) of Hepatitis B from 2009 to 2013 was calculated, and the constitution and trends of the DALYs was analyzed. Results Disease burden of hepatitis B dropped from 35 088 to 2 997 DALYs during 2009-2013 years in Chaoyang District, Beijing, while DALYs per thousand persons dropped 92.15% in average. For the DALYs constitution, YLL was always lower than the proportion of YLD. In terms of population distribution, the disease burden of hepatitis B for men was more than women. Young people for 20-45 and 45-60 years old had a high state in hepatitis B disease burden, and low level for people under 20 years of age. Conclusions Results of this study reflect the good effects of the comprehensive prevention and control for hepatitis B implemented in Chaoyang District to some extent. Reducing the incidence of hepatitis B, improving the diagnosis and treatment and the quality of life for hepatitis B patients are important for future hepatitis B prevention and control strategies. Adults, especially young of 20-45 years old are the focus of hepatitis B prevention and control in this region. Key words: Hepatitis B; Burden of disease; Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)
