tailieunhanh - Health Expenditures and the Elderly: A Survey of Issues in Forecasting, Methods Used, and Relevance for Developing Countries

Total GHGEs from the food supply can be split by a nominal boundary of the regional distribution centre (RDC), . primary commodity production and transport to the RDC (pre-RDC) and processing, transport to retail, storage, preparation and waste (post-RDC), in the ratio of 56:44 (Audsley et al. 2009). It is recognised, however, that this is only a nominal boundary as it is not always clear exactly where primary production ends and processing begins for different types of food. Given the limited data available for post-RDC for individual food commodities, the focus in this report was on changing food choice. | THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE 2000 IN AGING POPULATIONS Research Paper No. 01 .23 Health Expenditures and the Elderly A Survey of Issues in Forecasting Methods Used and Relevance for Developing Countries Ajay Mahal Peter Berman December 2001 ISSN 0000 0000 HARVARD BURDEN OF DISEASE UNIT NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON AGING GRANT 1-P01-AG17625 THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE 2000 IN AGING POPULATIONS This research paper series reports on research supported by the National Institute on Aging program grant entitled The Global Burden of Disease 2000 in Aging Populations 1-P01-AG17625 . The purpose of the grant is to strengthen the methodological and empirical bases for undertaking comparative assessments of health problems their determinants and consequences in aging populations. Since the publication of the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990 there has been increasing interest in comparative analyses of health outcomes determinants and consequences. A major revision of the Global Burden of Disease Study has been launched for the year 2000 with the full commitment of the World Health Organization WHO . The Global Programme on Evidence for Health Policy at WHO has developed a Global Burden of Disease Network which operates in parallel to the research conducted as part of the program project. The program project will strengthen the scientific basis for the large-scale undertaking led by WHO at the global regional and national level. The purpose of this series is to present original research that emerges from the various project components of this program grant.
