INTRODUCTION
There remains a lack of information on economic aspects of chronic diseases. This paper, by gathering available and relevant research findings, aims to report and discuss current evidence on economic aspects of chronic diseases in Vietnam.
METHODS
DATA USED IN THIS PAPER WERE OBTAINED FROM VARIOUS INFORMATION SOURCES: international and national journal articles and studies, government documents and publications, web-based statistics and fact sheets.
RESULTS
In Vietnam, chronic diseases were shown to be leading causes of deaths, accounting for 66% of all deaths in 2002. The burdens caused by chronic disease morbidity and risk factors are also substantial. Poorer people in Vietnam are more vulnerable to chronic diseases and their risk factors, other than being overweight. The estimated economic loss caused by chronic diseases for Vietnam in 2005 was about US$20 million (0.033% of annual national GDP). Chronic diseases were also shown to cause economic losses for families and individuals in Vietnam. Both population-wide and high-risk individual interventions against chronic disease were shown to be cost-effective in Vietnam.
CONCLUSION
Given the evidence from this study, actions to prevent chronic diseases in Vietnam are clearly urgent. Further research findings are required to give greater insights into economic aspects of chronic diseases in Vietnam.
简介
慢性病的经济方面的信息仍然缺乏。本文通过收集现有和相关的研究结果，旨在报告和讨论越南慢性病的经济方面的现有证据。
方法
本文使用的数据来自各种信息来源：国际和国家期刊文章和研究、政府文件和出版物、基于网络的统计数据和情况说明书。
结果
在越南，慢性病是主要的死亡原因，占 2002 年所有死亡人数的 66%。慢性病发病率和危险因素造成的负担也很大。越南较贫穷的人更容易受到慢性病及其危险因素的影响，而不仅仅是超重。2005 年，慢性病给越南造成的经济损失估计约为 2000 万美元（占年度国民生产总值的 0.033%）。慢性病也给越南的家庭和个人造成了经济损失。在越南，针对慢性病的人群干预和高危个体干预都具有成本效益。
结论
鉴于本研究的证据，越南预防慢性病的行动显然迫在眉睫。需要进一步的研究结果来更深入地了解越南慢性病的经济方面。
