because i feel as though we should get further than question three:
one indicator used to measure the health status of populations is burden of disease, which is a measure of the impact of injuries and disease. specifically, it measures the gap between current health status and an ideal situation wherein everyone lives to an old age free of disability and disease. it is measured in a unit called the disability adjusted life year (were not allowed to just abbreviate it to daly straight away, right? have to use the term in full first?). a second indicator that measures the health status of populations is life expectancy, which is an indication of how long a person can expect to live. it is the number of years of life remaining to a person at a particular age if death rates do not change.
is that enough for four marks or do i need examples? (:
That's definitely four marks!
Comment: you don't have to restate the question in your answer, i.e. you don't have to say "one indicator used to measure health status of populations is..."
Instead, you can just state the answer like so:
1.
Burden of disease: blah blah definition blah blah.
2.
Disability adjusted life years: blah blah.
It makes it easier for the examiners to get to the meat of your answer, the actual mark-gaining content, because putting the question in your answer gains no marks.
