Is the author talking about a picture of fours factors A,B,C,D (A = what disables and kills people across countries, B=time, C=age, and D=sex)?

Context:

The Global Burden of Disease: a critical resource for informed policymaking

Everyone, all over the world, deserves to live a long life in full health. In order to achieve this goal, we need a comprehensive picture of what disables and kills people across countries, time, age, and sex. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) provides a tool to quantify health loss from hundreds of diseases, injuries, and risk factors, so that health systems can be improved and disparities can be eliminated.

Yeah, I think so, as long as you don't read the "and" as necessarily conjunctive. He seems to mean four separate categories, each of which is to be given it's own independent assessment regarding death and disability.

@oristarA,
Rupert Murdoch. But he does it so insidiously that it appears to the uninformed eye as "news media".

@oristarA,
Are you by any chance from Madagascar?

Incidentally, your userID spelled backwards appears to be Medieval Latin. I can't get a translation.
