A new and official report shows cancer is the leading cause of death and disability in Australia.The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reveals that cancer is taking more lives -- about 19 percent -- than cardiovascular disease, currently at 18 percent. Cancer is the now to blame for Australia's burden of disease, according to the report, and the disease doesn't appear to be slowing anytime soon.
Burden of disease refers to not only mortality but also takes into account impact of illness and disability. Essentially, this means cancer takes away from healthy life years.
The top five leading causes of non-fatal burden of disease in Australia are anxiety and depression, Type-2 diabetes, dementia, adult-onset hearing loss, and asthma. Of the 14 preventable health risks outlined in this same report, tobacco was responsible for the greatest burden.
1. Dear,
I was wondering if I could sick some help from you. or at least some suggestions. I would like to supply people with cancer. I am a professional wig maker. I invested in a factory and I have supplied for the past 5 years people in Australia with full custom made wigs for adults and children to cover the part that need to be covered. they still have a normal life and it last for years if well looked after. Lace front wigs are made of real human hair, are light and very comfortable. Unfortunately lace front wigs not that well known yet in Australia.
I am specializing in making lace front wigs. It is made by hand and is undetectable. Please see the attached pictures. The scalp can breathe as each hair is carefully hand knotted on a lace. My product has been very successful but selling them to retailers I have noticed they sell it for a very high price. And not every body that would like it can afford it. This is why I would like to be put directly in touch with the person that needs my services. For my products to be accessible and not out of price.
Please let me know how I can do this.
I live between china and Australia. China because as my company is there and the factories a work with are too. I have the residential permit in Australia too. I am French and my partner in life is Australian. His dad passed away because of cancer so I do know what people with cancer go through.
If you think my idea is interesting please let's chair some ideas about this project.on ncoutti@hotmail.com
Regards
Nathalie coutti
