This essay asks whether the global burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors (GBD) should be measured in terms of their consequences for health, as maintained by most of those who are attempting to measure the GBD, or in terms of their consequences for well-being, as argued by John Broome. It answers that the burden of disease should be understood in terms of the consequences of disease for health, and it defends the wider efforts to measure health by those who are in other ways skeptical of the project of measuring the GBD.
本文探讨了全球疾病、伤害和危险因素负担（GBD）的衡量标准，究竟应该基于对健康的影响（这是大多数 GBD 衡量者所坚持的观点），还是基于对福利的影响（这是约翰·布鲁姆所主张的观点）。本文认为，疾病负担应该理解为疾病对健康的影响，并为那些在其他方面对 GBD 衡量项目持怀疑态度的人对健康的广泛衡量努力进行了辩护。
