<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment published, publicly available, contributed data incidence, prevalence, mortality for mutually exclusive collectively exhaustive list injuries....
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal outcomes of diseases injuries are becoming a larger component the global burden disease. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides comprehensive assessment prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs) for 328 causes in 195 countries territories from 1990 to 2016. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated prevalence incidence 2982...
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in 195 countries territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline mortality rates 2016 has led an increase life expectancy, ageing global population, expansion non-fatal burden disease injury. These also substantial portion world's population experiences health loss...
BackgroundGlobal development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use newly available data improved methods. GBD 2017 provides comprehensive assessment 282 causes 195 countries...
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 provides an up-to-date synthesis the evidence for risk factor exposure attributable burden disease. By providing national subnational assessments spanning past 25 years, this study can inform debates on importance addressing risks in context.MethodsWe used comparative assessment framework developed previous iterations Disease to estimate deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), trends by age group, sex,...
<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...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Suboptimal diet is an important preventable risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs); however, its impact on the burden of NCDs has not been systematically evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate consumption major foods and nutrients across 195 countries quantify their suboptimal intake NCD mortality morbidity. <h3>Methods</h3> By use a comparative assessment approach, we estimated proportion disease-specific attributable each dietary (also...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment cause-specific for 264 causes 195 locations from 1980 2016. This includes evaluation the expected epidemiological transition with changes development where local patterns deviate these trends. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated deaths years...
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to factor quantification that offers useful tool for synthesising evidence on risks risk–outcome associations. With each annual GBD study, we update the CRA incorporate improved methods, new pairs, data exposure levels associations.MethodsWe used framework developed previous iterations estimate trends in exposure, attributable deaths,...
BackgroundHow long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, the population's state health leading causes disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, provision services. We comparatively assessed patterns trends healthy expectancy (HALE), which quantifies number expected to be lived complementary measure disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), a composite disease burden capturing both premature mortality prevalence severity ill 359...
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment risk factor exposure attributable burden disease. By providing estimates over long time series, this study can monitor trends critical to health surveillance inform policy debates on the importance addressing risks in context.MethodsWe used comparative framework developed for previous iterations GBD estimate levels exposure, deaths, disability-adjusted life-years...
Measurement of changes in health across locations is useful to compare and contrast changing epidemiological patterns against system performance identify specific needs for resource allocation research, policy development, programme decision making. Using the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016, we drew from two widely used summary measures monitor such population health: disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) healthy life expectancy (HALE). We these track trends...
The scale-up of tobacco control, especially after the adoption Framework Convention for Tobacco Control, is a major public health success story. Nonetheless, smoking remains leading risk early death and disability worldwide, therefore continues to require sustained political commitment. Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) offers robust platform through which global, regional, national progress toward achieving smoking-related targets can be assessed.We synthesised 2818...
Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department Economics Social Affairs (UNPOP), United States Census Bureau, WHO, as part previous iterations Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent with numbers deaths GBD. The present iteration GBD, 2017, improves on assessments provides timely experience...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Ending the global tobacco epidemic is a defining challenge in health. Timely and comprehensive estimates of prevalence smoking use attributable disease burden are needed to guide control efforts nationally globally. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated for 204 countries territories, by age sex, from 1990 2019 as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study. modelled multiple smoking-related indicators 3625 representative surveys. completed systematic...
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...
