Introduction
• Foodborne diseases (FBD) are common throughout the world
• Food contamination events and outbreaks capture widespread attention
• FBD are closely linked to poverty and development
• The full extent of FBD is unknown
• The epidemiology of FBD is highly complex
![Page 4: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHO Initiative to Estimate the Global Burden of FBD
• Launched in 2006, external expert group: Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG)
• FERG objectives – To provide epidemiological estimates on the global burden of
all relevant foodborne diseases (according to age, sex and (WHO) regions)
– To assist WHO to strengthen the capacity of countries to conduct burden of foodborne diseases and policy context studies
– To assist WHO in bridging the gap between collection of scientific evidence and food safety policy making

Summary metrics of population health
• Integrate morbidity and mortality
• Incorporate age and health status of those affected
• Address incidence, severity and duration of adverse health consequences
• Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)
– Years of Life Lost (YLL)
– Years Lived with Disability (YLD)
![Page 10: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DALY = YLL + YLD
Mortality: years of life lost (YLL)
YLL = Sall outcomes ( D x e)
D: number of deaths
e: life expectancy of fatal cases
Morbidity: years lived with disability, weighted for severity of illness (YLD)
YLD = Sall outcomes ( N x t x w)
N: number of non-fatal cases
t: duration
w: disability weight

Methodological choices
• Hazard- and incidence based approach
• By five-year age group when data available
• No age-weighting and discounting
• WHO life table (projected for 2050; life expectancy at birth 92 years)
• GBD 2010 disability weights with WHO modification
• Probabilistic assessment to quantify uncertainty
• Presentation at subregional level

FERG computational approach
![Page 14: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Source attribution (SA)
• Foodborne hazards can also be transmitted by other pathways including the environment (e.g. water, soil, air), direct contact between humans or by direct human-animal contact
• Definition of food as used by FERG ‘any substance, whether processed, semi-processed or raw, which is intended for human consumption, and includes drink, chewing gum and any substance which has been used in the manufacture, preparation or treatment of food but does not include cosmetics or tobacco or substances used only as drugs’ (Codex Alimentarius Commission)
![Page 15: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SA methodology
• Data for attribution at global scale are not available
• Twelve hazards are considered 100% foodborne
• Structured expert elicitation (Cooke’s classical method) for nineteen hazards
• Specific estimates for each subregion (regional panels for diarrheal pathogens, global panels for all other hazards)

• Over 40% of cases in children aged under 5 years
• Most deaths by Salmonella Typhi (52,000 deaths), enteropathogenic E. coli (37,000) and norovirus (35,000)

Global incidence of aflatoxin-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Liu et al., EHP 2010;118:818-824
• Risk assessment approach
– Aflatoxin levels and consumption in contaminated foods
– Prevalence of hepatitis B virus
– Cancer potency factors (30x higher in HBV+ than in HBV- individuals)
• Annually, 550,000 - 600,000 new cases of HCC
• 25,000 – 155,000 may be attributable to aflatoxin (4.6 – 28.2%)
![Page 26: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Global distribution of aflatoxin-related HCC
Liu et al., EHP 2010;118:818-824

Bottom-up or top-down approach?
• Risk assessment (bottom-up) approach assumes that
– Risks are additive or
– HCC background rate (i.e. due to all risk factors not in the model, e.g. HCV) is the same in all global populations
• Background risk in Guangxi population (basis for cancer potency factor) higher than in other known regions
• May lead to overestimation of global HCC incidence
• Top down approach: estimate population attributable risk, apply to HCC incidence – default in global burden studies
• Approx. 4x lower estimates of aflatoxin-associated HCC incidence and deaths; particularly in Africa
• Validity of either method difficult to assess
• Similar considerations for other cancer endpoints and cardiovascular disease associated with arsenic and lead

Country studies
• Objectives
– Strengthen capacity of countries to conduct burden of foodborne disease assessments
– Encourage countries to use burden of foodborne disease estimates
• Tools
– National burden of foodborne disease study
– Hazard selection tool
– Guidance on data collection
– Situation analysis, knowledge translation and risk communication guidance
![Page 29: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pilot country studies
• Albania, Japan, Thailand, and Uganda
• Main data gaps
– Etiology of major syndromes (e.g. diarrhea)
– Incidence to chemicals
– Attribution
• Use of private data (diagnostic labs, food industry
• Differentiation between foodborne and waterborne exposures difficult
![Page 30: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Outputs and timelines
• WHO launch – December 2-3, 2015, Geneva
– WHO report
– PLOS collection
– On-line interactive tool
– Country study toolkit
– Communication materials
• FERG symposium – December 15-16, 2015, Amsterdam

Discussion (1)
• Foodborne hazards cause a wide variety of diseases, ranging from relatively mild to severe and life-threatening
• The global burden will be quantified for the first time
• Many data gaps were identified, creating the need for imputation, assumptions and expert elicitation
• Food production is linked to human disease via mechanisms other than direct transmission of pathogens through food – One Health approach
![Page 33: WHO estimates of the global burden of foodborne diseases, 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/5875ce631a28ab8f438b4c61/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Discussion (2)
• FERG results will help to focus control activities to reduce the burden of foodborne disease
• Burden and priorities vary by region
• Current results are a basis for strategies at the global, regional and national levels
• National studies are needed to refine current regional insights
• Concerted effort is needed by all stakeholders in the food chain, from primary production to consumers
