GBD 2017 Resources


Published in The Lancet in November 2018, GBD 2017 provides for the first time an independent estimation of population, for each of 195 countries and territories and the globe, using a standardized, replicable approach, as well as a comprehensive update on fertility. GBD 2017 incorporates major data additions and improvements, and methodological refinements. Mortality and life expectancy estimates have been extended back to 1950, and new causes have been added to the fatal and non-fatal cause lists, for a total of 359 diseases and injuries. One new risk factor, bullying victimization, and 80 new risk-outcome pairs have also been added. More SDG indicators are now examined, and forecasting methods are used to generate projections through 2030 and assess the pace of change needed to attain the SDGs. Produced with the input of 3,676 collaborators from 146 countries and territories, GBD 2017 also includes estimates at the subnational level for Russia in addition to the countries for which subnational estimates have been published in previous editions of the GBD study (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, the UK, and the US).

This page summarizes all available resources from the capstone publications of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study.

GBD Results Tool

This query tool allows download of full GBD results data in CSV format.

What's included:

  • All GBD causes, risks, etiologies, impairments, injuries by nature, and sequela aggregates
  • Measures: deaths, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), prevalence, incidence, life expectancy, probability of death, healthy life expectancy (HALE), maternal mortality ratio (MMR), and summary exposure value (SEV)
  • Metrics (units): number, rate, percent, years, probability of death
  • Years: 1990-2017; annual results for all measures
  • All GBD age groups
  • Sexes: males, females, both sexes
  • Locations: GBD super-regions, regions, countries, select subnational units, and custom regions (WHO regions, World Bank Income Levels, and more)

Data Input Sources Tool

The Data Input Sources Tool allows users to explore GBD 2017 input data sources and retrieve relevant metadata.

Data Visualizations

Use these visualizations to interact with the latest GBD 2017 estimates, comparing causes, injuries, and risks across time, age, and place.

GBD Compare

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

Health-related SDGs Viz

With this tool, users can explore progress made toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Measure progress made by 195 countries from 1990 to 2017 toward 41 health-related indicators.

Mortality Viz

Walk through the estimation process for mortality trends for children and adults for 195 countries and territories using the revamped Mortality visualization.

CoD Viz

You can examine more than 282 causes in both adjusted and pre-adjusted numbers, rates, and percentages for 195 countries and territories with this tool. 

Epi Viz

With this interactive tool, you can explore data inputs and epidemiological estimates from the GBD 2017 project.

Country Profiles

The Country Profiles provide an overview of findings from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD). They are based on over 80,000 different data sources used by researchers to produce the most scientifically rigorous estimates possible. These profiles are meant to be freely downloaded and distributed.
