The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) tracks the losses from premature death and losses of healthy life that result from disability. It is a measure of the overall health of a population and is used to guide public health policies and resource allocation. While HIV/AIDS may be included in the GBD, it is not the main focus of the indicator. The economic impact of disability may also be considered, but it is not the primary purpose of the GBD. Similarly, the rate of disability in industrialized nations may be included, but it is not the sole focus of the indicator.
