<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 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...
Comparable data on the global and country-specific burden of neurological disorders their trends are crucial for health-care planning resource allocation. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) Study provides such information but does not routinely aggregate results that interest to clinicians specialising in conditions. In this systematic analysis, we quantified disease due 2015 its relationship with country development level.We estimated prevalence, mortality,...
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...
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...
Timely assessment of the burden HIV/AIDS is essential for policy setting and programme evaluation. In this report from Global Burden Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we provide national estimates levels trends incidence, prevalence, coverage antiretroviral therapy (ART), mortality 195 countries territories 1980 to 2015.For without high-quality vital registration data, estimated prevalence incidence with data antenatal care clinics population-based seroprevalence surveys, assumptions by age sex...
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...
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are grounded in the global ambition of "leaving no one behind". Understanding today's gains and gaps for health-related SDGs is essential decision makers as they aim to improve health populations. As part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016), we measured 37 50 SDG indicators over period 1990-2016 188 countries, then on basis these past trends, projected 2030.
Aims We assessed the effect of fasting during Ramadan on blood pressure (BP), body weight, plasma lipid, and lipoprotein variables among healthy normal individuals. Methods 102 (68% male) multi-ethnic volunteers; mean age ± SD (38.7±10.5 years) were randomly recruited in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE), to be investigated before Ramadan, one day after end four weeks Ramadan. Anthropometric, demographic, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein–cholesterol...
Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in world. In United Arab Emirates (UAE), it accounts for 40% mortality. CVD caused by multiple cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) including obesity, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension and central obesity. However, there are limited studies focusing on burden among young Emirati adults. This study investigates CRFs a sample Emiratis, estimates distribution relation to sociodemographic behavioral determinants....
The aim of the study was to estimate prevalence prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among overweight/obese children adolescents using different diagnostic/screening methods in comparison.We recruited Emirati students; grade 6-12 (age 11-17 years) from 16 government schools Sharjah (UAE). Anthropometric, demographic, clinical history data measured by standard methods. Body mass index (BMI) categorized according BMI percentile charts for age sex - CDC. Capillary fasting blood glucose (FBG)...
Abstract Cigarette smoking alters the oral microbiome; however, effect of alternative tobacco products remains unclear. Middle Eastern like dokha and shisha, are becoming globally widespread. We tested for first time in a population hypothesis that different impact microbiome. The microbiome 330 subjects from United Arab Emirates Healthy Future Study was assessed by amplifying bacterial 16S rRNA gene mouthwash samples. Tobacco consumption using structured questionnaire further validated...
Parental participation is a key factor in the prevention and management of childhood obesity, thus parental recognition weight problems essential. We estimated perceptions their determinants Emirati population. invited 1541 students (grade 1-12; 50% boys) parents, but only 1440 (6-19 years) parents consented. Of these, 945 nationals provided data for analysis. Anthropometric demographic variables were measured by standard methods. CDC BMI percentile charts age sex used to classify children's...
Introduction Self-reported tobacco use in the United Arab Emirates is among highest region. Use of products other than cigarettes widespread, but little known about specific behavior patterns. There have been no studies that biochemically verified smoking status. Methods The UAE Healthy Future Study (UAEHFS) seeks to understand causes non-communicable diseases through a 20,000-person cohort study. During study pilot, 517 Emirati nationals were recruited complete questionnaire, provide...
Objectives To estimate the prevalence of high blood pressure (BP) and its relationship with obesity among children adolescents. Methodology/Principal Findings In this cross-sectional population (Emirati) representative study, we invited a random sample 1600 students (grades 1–12) attending 23 out all 246 schools in Emirate Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. But analysis was restricted to Emirati nationals aged 6–17 years. We measured BP, height, weight, waist circumferences (WC), calculated...
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is faced with a rapidly increasing burden of non-communicable diseases including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. UAE Healthy Future study prospective cohort designed to identify associations between risk factors these amongst Emiratis. will enroll 20,000 nationals aged ≥18 years. Environmental genetic be characterized participants followed for future disease events. As this was the first time being planned in UAE, pilot conducted 2015 primary aim...
Evidence indicates that the prevalence of asthma tends to increase in developed world. However, little is known about current rates and risk factors countries transition, e.g. United Arab Emirates (UAE).We investigated its independent among adolescents adults Al-Ain, UAE.For a two-stage, randomly selected survey, 10,000 questionnaires were distributed their parents. Logistic regression was applied assess associations with age, gender, education, nationality family history.In total, 6,543...

It offers insights into shared genetic, environmental lifestyle factors that influence risk. In this study, we aimed to estimate association CVD its factors, as well affected parents or siblings, prevalence major cardiometabolic (CRFs) such hypertension, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia obesity in a sample young adults.
