Description
In the United States, what would be the most appropriate set of indicators to assess the impact of diseases (disease burden) on the population? Why?

Here are some Indicators:
-Mortality and morbidity (World Health Organization)
-Gross national income (World Bank)
-Risk index (UNICEF)
-Access to primary education and health care
-Emerging threats (HIV) – International Journal of Epidemiology; National Institutes of Health (NIH) Global AIDS Initiative
-Life expectancy (World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control)
