<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 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> Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based care planning resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised comprehensive measurement these metrics at global, regional, national levels. <h3>Methods</h3> We applied GBD 2019 analytical tools...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Health system planning requires careful assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) epidemiology, but data for morbidity and mortality this are scarce or non-existent in many countries. We estimated the global, regional, national burden CKD, as well cardiovascular gout attributable to impaired function, Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017. use term CKD refer that can be directly attributed all stages we function additional risk from...
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide the economic costs treatment post-stroke care are substantial. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides systematic, comparable method quantifying health loss by disease, age, sex, year, location to provide information systems policy makers on more than 300 causes disease injury, including stroke. results presented here estimates burden due overall stroke ischaemic haemorrhagic from GBD 2016.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are common diseases with a heterogeneous distribution worldwide. Here, we present methods risk estimates for COPD from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) 2015 study. The GBD study provides annual updates on deaths, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), summary measure fatal non-fatal outcomes, over 300 injuries, 188 countries 1990 to most recent year.
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...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Accurate and up-to-date assessment of demographic metrics is crucial for understanding a wide range social, economic, public health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 produced updated comprehensive assessments the key indicators fertility, mortality, migration, population 204 countries territories selected subnational locations from 1950 to 2019. <h3>Methods</h3> 8078 country-years...
<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...
A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality care. Examining where gains occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries crucial guiding decisions strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) assess personal health-care with Healthcare Access Quality (HAQ) Index 195 territories, as well subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 2016.
Background: Nearly all European countries have been affected by the economic crisis that began in 2007, but consequences among worst Spain. We investigated associations of recession on frequency mood, anxiety, somatoform, alcohol-related and eating disorders those visiting Spanish primary care settings. Methods: Primary physicians selected randomized samples patients attending centres representing Spain's consulting populations. A total 7940 2006–07 5876 2010–11 were administered Care...
National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not fatal in the presence effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses to health only focused on high-income countries faced several methodological challenges. In present analysis, we use highly standardised cause death risk factor estimates generated through Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) improve expand...

BackgroundIn September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG based on Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015).MethodsWe applied statistical methods systematically compiled data estimate performance for 188 countries from 1990 2015. rescaled each indicator a scale 0 (worst observed value...
