The Lancet report 'The Burden of Child and Maternal Malnutrition and Trends in its Indicators in the States of India: The Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2017' had also put Gujarat at the top in child wasting and sixth in child stunting among Indian states.

Canada's rate of firearm homicides is 0.5 per 100,000 people, versus the United States' rate of 4.12, the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) said in a 2021 analysis.

Compared to countries of all sizes and incomes, the firearm-related death rate in the U.S. ranks 32nd in the world, according to a study by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Canada’s rate of firearm homicides is 0.5 per 100,000 people, far lower than the U.S. rate of 4.12, according to a 2021 analysis by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Canada's rate of firearm homicides is 0.5 per 100,000 people, versus the United States' rate of 4.12, the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) said in a 2021 analysis.

The firearm homicide rate for US children ages 0-14 is astronomical compared to other wealthy nations, according to data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, with hundreds of budding American lives lost every year. 

"Right now, we have a highly infectious virus, and we have waning immunity," said Dr. Ali Mokdad, of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle. "So people are susceptible to the virus even in summer."

Para poder saber cuáles son las causas que nos hacen perder más años de vida saludable, existe un proyecto llamado Carga Global de Enfermedad (o Global Burden of Disease en inglés). Este proyecto está coordinado por el Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation y en él colaboran más de 3,000 investigadores en 146 países. 

In an update of a 2015 estimate on premature deaths caused by pollution, the Lancet study said that data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD) showed that pollution "remains responsible for approximately nine million deaths per year."

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimates that only about 13 percent of cases are being detected. But the organization’s director, Christopher Murray, says the United States is still in good shape and not on track to experience a surge of omicron subvariants like that seen in Britain.

For their most recent study, published in the online journal Lancet Planetary Health, the authors analyzed 2019 data from the Global Burden of Disease, an ongoing study by the University of Washington that assesses overall pollution exposure and calculates mortality risk.

The analysis is based on global health data collected by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

La investigación realizada antes de la pandemia y publicada el martes se basa en cálculos extraídos de la base de datos Global Burden of Disease y del Instituto de Sanimetría y Evaluación de Seattle.

The new review, published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health, analysed data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease project, the most recent available, and found air pollution caused almost 75% of the 9 million pollution deaths.
