RESUMO
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the impact of chronic diseases prevalent in the population over 65 years in Argentina in 2001 - 2009, through the method of Disability Adjusted Life Expectancy. In addition, the prevalence of these diseases is described in the same time period as well as the risk factors associated with them. An increased prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases is evident, such as hypertension and diabetes, among others, but also an improvement in the quality of life of people affected by these diseases, which improve as the population ages.
