Burden of disease has been used to assess population health status. This article presents the first estimations of burden of disease in Vietnam in 2008 using disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). DALYs were calculated using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) methods. Incidence, prevalence of diseases, and causes of death was extracted from Vietnam data. Disability weights were borrowed from GBD and Dutch research. In 2008, the total burden of disease in Vietnam was 12.3 million DALYs. Noncommunicable diseases dominated the total burden of diseases in Vietnam, accounting for 71% of the total burden, and cardiovascular disease was the leading cause group of premature death. While pneumonia was an important cause of burden in Vietnamese children, stroke and depression were the main causes of disease burden among adults. The study provides a snapshot of Vietnamese health status and offers guidance for health policymaking in Vietnam.
疾病负担被用于评估人口健康状况。本文使用伤残调整生命年（DALYs）对 2008 年越南的疾病负担进行了首次估算。DALYs 是通过全球疾病负担（GBD）方法计算的。疾病的发病率、患病率和死因从越南数据中提取。残疾权重取自 GBD 和荷兰的研究。2008 年，越南的疾病总负担为 1230 万 DALYs。非传染性疾病在越南疾病总负担中占主导地位，占总负担的 71%，心血管疾病是导致过早死亡的主要疾病组。虽然肺炎是越南儿童疾病负担的重要原因，但中风和抑郁症是成年人疾病负担的主要原因。该研究提供了越南健康状况的快照，并为越南的卫生决策提供了指导。
