In order to make progress in reducing the burden of injury and mortality that result from youth violence, it is imperative to identify evidence-based programs and strategies that have a significant impact on violence.
For women who do not yet need ART according to usual guidelines, our data indicate that risks associated with transmission are not large enough to outweigh the substantial increases in uninfected child mortality that result from prematurely truncating the usual duration of breastfeeding.
The DALY metric accounts for both the morbidity and mortality that result from a disease, injury, or health state (Prüss-Üstün et al. 2003).
In addition to the human morbidity and mortality that result from zoonotic infections, the cycle of poverty associated with zoonotic disease transmission is well-documented [ 7, 8].
This lack of regenerative capacity of lymphocytes has been proposed to be a major roadblock to healthy aging, with immune aging contributing to the increased incidence of cancer, and to the increased morbidity and mortality that result from infections, which are due to reduced immune reactivity [ 2].
Because it was a method for ensuring that each woman and her children had a male provider, levirate marriages increased with the heightened male mortality that resulted when tribes resisted colonial conquest.
Over-ocean flocking becomes worthwhile when it reduces the probability of mortality [ 20], taking account of the extra mortality that results from the extra foraging required.
Thus, preventive measures designed to minimize or remove this exposure could dramatically reduce the occurrence of LBW and thus the morbidity and mortality that results from LBW.
This model identifies testable hypotheses for better understanding this disease, knowledge that will be critical for defining effective disease mitigation strategies aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality that results from WNS.
Preparedness can be defined as the ability to reduce morbidity and mortality that results from large-scale transmission of infectious diseases such as pandemic influenza, or from other natural or man-made disasters [ 14].
