About the tool
Analyze updated estimates of the world’s health for 369 diseases and injuries and 87 risk factors from 1990 to 2019 in this interactive tool. Use maps and treemaps, arrow diagrams, and many other charts to compare causes and risks within a country, compare countries with regions or the world, and explore patterns and trends by country, age, and sex. Results at the subnational level are also available for select countries. Drill down from a global view into specific details. Compare expected and observed trends. Watch how disease patterns have changed over time. Learn which causes of death and disability are having more impact and which are waning.

- Deaths
- Years of life lost (YLLs)
- Years lived with disability (YLDs)
- Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)
- Incidence
- Prevalence
- Maternal mortality ratio
- Probability of death
