2011), and spending on patients with more than one chronic NCD now accounts for around two-thirds of total health spending in high-income countries (Parekh and Barton 2010). Population studies suggest that over half of elderly adults are experiencing multiple chronic NCDs (Marengoni et al. The simultaneous experience of multiple chronic NCDs is now more prevalent than single condition chronic morbidity (Starfield 2006 Howard et al. These are important for understanding the relationship between illness and the quality of life.Īccounting for two-thirds of global deaths, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of global mortality and morbidity (United Nations 2011). We conclude that individuals possess critical adaptive psychological mechanisms which attenuate the incremental health impact of additional chronic NCDs. Confirming that there are high levels of chronic NCDs and associated multimorbidities, we find that the impact of these on self-assessed health is greater than previous estimates suggested but that, where there are dual morbidities, the effect of the additional disease is weaker than it would have been if experienced as a single condition. Using nationally representative data from a Russian population survey, we examine the impact of chronic NCDs on self-assessed health, explore the prevalence of multimorbidity and, applying an iterative partial proportional odds estimator, examine how different combinations of chronic NCDs interact to influence self-assessed health. Beyond the need to obviate the growing burden on healthcare systems, the increasing incidence and prevalence of multimorbidity and its effects requires further investigation. Population studies suggest that more than half of older-aged adults report having multiple chronic NCDs (multimorbidities) and two-thirds of total health spending in high-income countries is accounted for by patients with multimorbidities. No matter how you look at it… “2001” is an undeniable classic.As life expectancies increase and healthcare improves, increasing numbers of the population can expect to live with combinations of two or more chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). But keep in mind that a lot changed from 1992 to 1999, so it’s unfair to compare the two albums. Then again, if you ask me, the lyrics featured on “The Chronic” are better than the lyrics featured on “2001”. If you ask me (this may upset some people) but the production on “2001” is a little bit better than the production featured on Dre’s 1992 classic “The Chronic”. So if it wasn’t for “2001” a lot of music that has dropped since 1999 may have never existed. Don’t forget that this album was responsible for re-establishing Dr. I’m waiting to see if the same will happen this year when Dr. This album is what pushed West Coast Hip-Hop back to the top in the year 2000. This is a personal favorite of mine.ĬONCLUSION: There is no doubt in my mind that “2001” is a Hip-Hop classic. Blige sounds outstanding on the hook (along with Roc-A-Fella crooner Rell). This track sounds NOTHING like any of the other tracks on this album.
