Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Approximately 2.5 million neonatal deaths occurred in 2011 and over 20 million children under age 5 died during the same year in lesser-developed countries. Children are at great risk for an early death in these lesser-developed nations. If these children could face the same risks as those in developed nations, the deaths would decrease by 90. Noncommunicable diseases such as respiratory, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and other conditions are problems in all countries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The GBD combines losses from premature death and losses of healthy life that result from disa-bility. The GBD represents units of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). This statistic is not specific to a particular disease or a particular developmental stage of a country.
