<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors quantification their effect on human health are important identify where public is making progress which cases current efforts inadequate. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised comprehensive assessment the magnitude factor exposure, relative risk, attributable burden disease. <h3>Methods</h3> GBD estimated mortality, years life...
Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability premature death is crucial to understanding responding complex patterns disease injury burden over time across age groups, sexes, locations. The availability estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public researchers, policy makers, other professionals implement strategies mitigate diseases. It also facilitate more rigorous monitoring progress towards national...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public decision making. Cause-specific estimates mortality and the subsequent effects life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing rates. These particularly important following large-scale spikes, such as COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, rates allow comparisons consequences causes globally over time, providing a...
BackgroundUnderstanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 inform control planning efforts globally.MethodsThe GBD comparative assessment framework was used estimate behavioural, environmental occupational, metabolic factors. A total 82 risk–outcome pairs were included on basis World...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in health surveillance systems, disease prevention, and treatment globally. Among the many factors that might have led to these is issue of financing national especially low-income middle-income countries (LMICs), as well a robust global system for preparedness. We aimed provide comparative assessment spending at onset pandemic; characterise amount development assistance preparedness response disbursed first 2 years...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease improving wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed produce geospatial of facilities. <h3>Methods</h3> used a Bayesian geostatistical model data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income...
Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation both diarrhoea incidence mortality interventions that protect children, prevent infection, treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden mapping associated risk factors can aid reducing preventable childhood
Background While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum that can occur in an injury, provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical temporal detail to be useful policy makers. The Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2017 study used highly detailed global injury burden meet these criteria. Methods In this study, we report discuss GBD morbidity mortality estimation. summary, included estimating...
Abstract The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of and 83,400 deaths children under 5 years old, 99% both occurred low- middle-income countries (LMICs) 1–4 . Globally comparable, annual, local estimates routine first-dose measles-containing (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP),...
Abstract A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates overweight wasting prevalence among children under 5 years age in 105 low- middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 aggregate these policy-relevant administrative units. Wasting decreased overall across LMICs between 2017, 8.4% (62.3 (55.1–70.8) million) 6.4% (58.3 (47.6–70.7) million), but is predicted...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Previous Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) studies have reported national health estimates for Ethiopia. Substantial regional variations in socioeconomic status, population, demography, access to care within Ethiopia require comparable at the subnational level. The GBD 2019 analysis aimed measure progress disparities across nine regions two chartered cities. <h3>Methods</h3> We gathered 1057 distinct data sources all cities...
Though agriculture is obstructed by a number of both endogenous and exogenous problems, it the dominant generator means livelihoods for majority people in least developing countries like Ethiopia. The aim this study to look at status food security identify its determinants rural pooled data were obtained from sixth seventh round Ethiopia Rural Household Survey (ERHS). Bar chart frequency distribution tables used illustrate given data. Binary multivariable logistic regression was employed...
Abstract Background Injury remains a major concern to public health in the European region. Previous iterations of Global Burden Disease (GBD) study showed wide variation injury death and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates across Europe, indicating inequality gaps between sub-regions countries. The objectives this were to: 1) compare GBD 2019 estimates on mortality DALYs countries by cause-of-injury category sex; 2) examine changes DALY over 20 year-period category, sub-region...
BackgroundOral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according UNICEF estimates, less than half children younger 5 years with in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS 2016. A variety recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative forms ORT; however, it unclear whether RHF prevent mortality. Previous studies have shown considerable variation between use, but...
