Diabetes is one of the leading causes death and disability worldwide, affects people regardless country, age group, or sex. Using most recent evidentiary analytical framework from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, sex-specific estimates diabetes prevalence burden 1990 to 2021, proportion type 1 2 in attributable selected risk factors, projections through 2050.
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...
Reducing the burden of death due to infection is an urgent global public health priority. Previous studies have estimated number deaths associated with drug-resistant infections and sepsis found that remain a leading cause globally. Understanding common bacterial pathogens (both susceptible resistant antimicrobials) essential identify greatest threats health. To our knowledge, this first study present comprehensive estimates 33 across 11 major infectious syndromes.
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...
BackgroundSustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and children younger 5 years 25 for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, potential trajectories mortality the next decade, we present Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 findings all-cause cause-specific in age, with multiple scenarios 2030 that include consideration effects...
The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of might lower the risk some outcomes but increase others, suggesting that overall depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year.
Anaemia is a major health problem worldwide. Global estimates of anaemia burden are crucial for developing appropriate interventions to meet current international targets disease mitigation. We describe the prevalence, years lived with disability, and trends its underlying causes in 204 countries territories.We estimated population-level distributions haemoglobin concentration by age sex each location from 1990 2021. then calculated severity associated disability (YLDs). With data on...
Approximately 14 million unintended pregnancies are recorded annually in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We sought to investigate the prevalence and determinants of among women Africa.The study pooled data from current Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) conducted January 1, 2010 December 31, 2016 29 countries SSA. Logistic regression analysis was used examine factors that influence Results were presented using odds ratios (OR).We found overall pregnancy rate 29%, ranging 10.8% Nigeria 54.5% Namibia....
<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...
The global burden of lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and corresponding risk factors in children older than 5 years adults has not been studied as comprehensively it younger years. We assessed the trends LRIs across all age groups by sex, for 204 countries territories.
A comprehensive understanding of temporal trends in the disease burden Australia is lacking, and these are required to inform health service planning improve population health. We explored diseases their risk factors from 1990 2019 through a analysis Global Burden Disease Study (GBD) 2019.In this systematic for GBD 2019, we estimated all-cause mortality using standardised methodology. Data sources included primarily vital registration systems with additional data sample registrations,...
Abstract Background Despite the significant progress over years, Tuberculosis remains a major public health concern and danger to global health. This study aimed analyze spatial temporal characteristics of incidence tuberculosis its risk factors predict future trends in Tuberculosis. Methods used secondary data on factor from 209 countries regions worldwide between 2000 2021 for analysis. Specifically, this analyses autocorrelation by calculating Moran’s I identified multiple stepwise linear...
Background Childhood vaccination is a highly cost-effective strategy for preventing vaccine-preventable diseases, including poliomyelitis. Despite advancements in coverage across Africa, polio remains public health concern. Limited multi-country analyses on oral vaccine (OPV) dropout African nations hinder the development of context-specific interventions. This study investigates OPV uptake and associated factors sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Methods analyzed data from Demographic Health Surveys...
Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually gaining much popularity and amplifying threat facing humanity about continuous spread of virus regardless one's location. Although some influx these falsehoods may be harmless, others might pose a serious by misleading general population depend on unjustified and/ unsubstantiated claims for protection show preference them against scientifically proven guidelines. This paper provides clear understanding misinformation, inherent...
BackgroundThe sustainable development goals (SDGs) aim to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Understanding the current state of HIV epidemic and its change over time is essential this effort. This study assesses sex-specific burden in 204 countries territories measures progress control epidemic.MethodsTo estimate age-specific trends 48 countries, we extended Estimation Projection Package Age-Sex Model also implement spectrum paediatric model. We used model cases where age sex...
In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, societal impact. Comprehensive estimates in (aged 15-39 years) lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, focus on outcome disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform control measures adults.
Globally, transport and unintentional injuries persist as leading preventable causes of mortality morbidity for adolescents. We sought to report comprehensive trends in injury-related adolescents aged 10-24 years during the past three decades.Using Global Burden Disease, Injuries, Risk Factors 2019 Study, we analysed disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributed 204 countries. is reported absolute numbers age-standardised rates per 100 000 population by sex, age group (10-14, 15-19,...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning is a largely preventable cause of death that has received insufficient attention. We aimed to conduct comprehensive global analysis the demographic, temporal, and geographical patterns fatal unintentional from 2000 2021. <h3>Methods</h3> As part latest Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD), mortality was quantified using GBD ensemble modelling strategy. Vital registration data covariates with an...
The six global nutrition targets (GNTs) related to low birthweight, exclusive breastfeeding, child growth (ie, wasting, stunting, and overweight), anaemia among females of reproductive age were chosen by the World Health Assembly in 2012 as key indicators maternal health, but there has yet be a comprehensive report on progress for period 2021. We aimed evaluate levels, trends, observed-to-expected prevalence attributable burden from 2021, with projections 2050, 204 countries territories.
