Exclusive Breastfeeding Visualization

Explore local patterns of exclusive breastfeeding among infants ages 0–6 months across Africa from 2000 to 2017 with this interactive visualization tool.

Acting on Data

Why do GBD researchers bother to use new and potentially unfamiliar metrics instead of tried-and-true, older ways of discussing disease, like prevalence and incidence? We discuss what we measure and why.

Global Burden of Disease

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) is the most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide.

GBD Compare data viz

Analyze updated data about the world’s health levels and trends from 1990 to 2017 in this interactive tool using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.

Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and mortality of HIV, 1980–2017, and forecasts to 2030, for 195 countries and territories: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017

Understanding the patterns of HIV/AIDS epidemics is crucial to tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts in countries. We provide a comprehensive assessment of the levels and trends of HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, mortality, and coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 1980–2017 and forecast these estimates to 2030 for 195 countries and territories.

The global burden of childhood and adolescent cancer in 2017: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 methodology, childhood (ages 0–19 years) cancer mortality was estimated. The GBD 2017 results call attention to the substantial burden of childhood cancer globally, which disproportionately affects populations in resource-limited settings.
