The risk priority index is defined in this study as the sum of all partial impacts of the health risk of interest on the population health. Miller’s index is used for measuring the partial impacts of diseases Q1k(i) and deaths Q2k(i) in RPI. The value of the risk priority index J(i) of the health risk i is represented by the sum of all partial risks:

                      

where, JDTH(i) = SQ1k(i) and JDIS(i) = SQ2k(i),
                                                                                                      

are called, respectively, the mortal and morbid components of RPI.

Morbid component of RPI is determined by the estimated number of bed-days and outpatient visits associated with a specific risk factor.

Mortal component of RPI is determined by the estimated number of deaths and years of life lost, both attributed to a specific risk factor.
