| disease burden |
Size of a health problem in an area, measured by cost, mortality, morbidity, or other indicators. Knowledge of the burden of disease can help determine where investment in health should be targeted. The PHI uses the term "impact" of disease (and injury) rather than disease burden to measure the consequences of disease in terms of mortality and morvidity.
