“Our message is simple: Young people should not drink, but older people may benefit from drinking small amounts," said Emmanuela Gakidou, University of Washington professor of health metrics sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in a news release. "While it may not be realistic to think young adults will abstain from drinking, we do think it’s important to communicate the latest evidence so that everyone can make informed decisions about their health.”

Emmanuela Gakidou, profesora de Ciencias de las Métricas de Salud de la Universidad de Washington y coordinadora del trabajo, resume su mensaje: “La gente joven no debería beber, pero la mayor puede beneficiarse de beber pequeñas cantidades. Aunque no es realista pensar que los jóvenes se abstengan de beber, creemos que es importante comunicar la última evidencia científica para que cada uno tome decisiones informadas sobre su salud”, concluye.

"Those diseases just happen to be major causes of death in a good chunk of the world," said senior author Emmanuela Gakidou, professor of health metrics sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington's School of Medicine.

"These are not the real numbers because many people are not reporting cases," Dr. Ali Mokdad, an epidemiologist with the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle, told ABC News.

Covid has subsided as a major cause of death in recent months in much of the world, even in places with low vaccination rates, because so many people have already been infected and the latest mutation of the virus hasn't proven to be particularly deadly, said Christopher Murray, the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

In the real world, people wear masks more often when cases are surging, said the institute’s Ali Mokdad, and 2021′s delta wave without vaccines would have prompted a major policy response. “We may disagree on the number as scientists, but we all agree that COVID vaccines saved lots of lives,” Mokdad said.

According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), University of Washington School of Medicine analysis, published in JAMA journal, December 30, 2021, the growth rates are among the global highest.

It was published by a group of researchers from various universities across the globe, and from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), a collaboration of over 3,600 researchers from 145 countries.

Mask use in Japan has typically held above 90%, a threshold other G-7 countries have only occasionally neared, according to Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation data.

“To have that long of a period of time and no increase in life expectancy was probably the most shocking finding,” said Laura Dwyer-Lindgren, an assistant professor of health metric sciences at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

A projeção mais recente, realizada em 2020 pelo Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME) da Universidade de Washington, nos Estados Unidos, em estudo publicado na revista científica The Lancet, indica que, até o final deste século, 183 dos 195 países do mundo terão uma taxa de fecundidade abaixo dos níveis necessários para repor sua população.

The US's rate of firearms homicides is 4.14 per 100,000 people, the highest among wealthy nations with a population of 10 million or more, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Shocking results showing a global shortage of 43 million medical staff are discussed with study lead author Professor Rafael Lozano. Interview with Dr. Lozano starts at 9:29 of the podcast.

La proyección más reciente, realizada en 2020 por el Instituto de Métricas y Evaluaciones de Salud (IHME) de la Universidad de Washington y publicada en la revista científica The Lancet, indica que para finales de este siglo 183 de los 195 países del mundo tendrán una tasa de fertilidad por debajo de los niveles requeridos para reemplazar a su población.

According to an analysis by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the US ranks first in firearm homicides per capita among high-income countries of more than 10 million
