Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures by Victor R. Preedy (Prof.), Ronald R. Watson (Prof.)English | PDF | 2010 | 4507 Pages | ISBN : 0387786643 | 57.3 MB
The impact of illness on individual lives and society at large was once considered too vast to gauge. More recently, quantitative measures of quality of life, life expectancy, and the financial costs of illness and treatment are showing not only how this impact can be calculated but also how the results can be used to further research and improve public health. The Handbook of Disease Burdens and Quality of Life Measures is the first comprehensive reference to these instruments and their findings on an international scale.
