Altogether, this study advances the existing understanding of femvertising in the context of wellness spaces, reiterates prominent shift towards equitable representations of gender and reports analogy in the promotional content and vision of the wellness centers, irrespective of the nature of the ownership.","PeriodicalId":237682,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Management and Tourism","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125021198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the economic burden of cancer at the country level is unknown. This study aims to estimate the economic loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to cancer between 1990-2019 in Turkey. \u0000Methods: The economic value of DALYs lost to cancer has been estimated using the human capital approach. This study used disability-adjusted life years and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita to estimate economic loss due to DALYs in Turkey. \u0000Results: Total economic loss due to cancer due to DALYs in 1990 was estimated as $4,783,030,609 (CI: $3,559,877,407- $6,157,521,799). In 2019, the total economic loss due to DALYs-related cancer was estimated to be $24,503,131,327 (CI: $1,674,808,440- $30,925,175,577). While the economic value of DALYs lost due to cancer was 3.17 (CI: 2.36-4.09) % of GDP in 1990 in Turkey, it was 3.22 (CI: 2.45-4.06) % in 2019. \u0000Conclusion: According to the findings obtained from the research findings, an economic value of roughly 3.2% of the GDP in Turkey shows that due to cancers. The first cancer, which constitutes the highest economic value of DALYs are lung cancer (28%) with 6.8 billion USD. This finding necessitates the meticulous implementation of Turkey’s national cancer policy for cancer prevention in Turkey.","PeriodicalId":237682,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Health Management and Tourism","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125645126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the study, the \"health system success index\" consisting of three dimensions and four indicators was created. Dimensions were determined as quality of life, spending success-financial success- and death-mortality. While calculating the success index, indicators were used for each dimension and “quality of life index” for quality of life, “spending success index” for spending success and “living index” for death were formed. A general health system success index was obtained by taking the geometric average of the three indices created with the help of dimensions. According to the 2005 health system success index, Japan was the most successful country among the G10 countries, while the USA was found to be the country with the lowest success index. The country with the highest success index in 2020 was again Japan, while the Netherlands ranked 2nd as the country that made the most progress in this process.
