According to the Global Burden of Disease, nearly a quarter (24.8 per cent) of all deaths in India is due to CVDs.

An ambitious new study has prompted a flurry of sensational headlines suggesting that people under 40 should avoid alcohol entirely, while people over 40 may benefit from modest alcohol consumption.  The study was conducted by dozens of researchers through the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Their work was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and published in July in the medical journal the Lancet.

In the United States alone, there could be up to a million infections a day this winter, Chris Murray, head of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), an independent modeling group at the University of Washington that has been tracking the pandemic, told Reuters.

In early July, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a research center at the University of Washington, released a model suggesting that actual Covid-19 cases are seven times higher than reported cases.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation suggests that as of earlier this month, 82 percent of Americans have been infected with the coronavirus at least once.

En este sentido, Annie Haakenstad, del Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) de la Universidad de Washington y autora del análisis, explicita: “El lugar en el que vive una mujer en el mundo y su edad todavía afecta significativamente su utilización de anticonceptivos”.

“Although we’ve observed excellent strides in contraceptive availability since the 1970s at a global level, there’s still a long way to go to ensure that every woman and adolescent girl can benefit from the economic and social empowerment contraceptives can offer,” said Dr Annie Haakenstad, of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

Modeling studies by researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation estimate the official counts include only 14% of actual infections.

Actual infection numbers in the United States in the first week of July were about seven times higher than reported cases, suggested an estimate from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. 

Suicide is a leading cause of death among children and adults, with nearly 800,000 people worldwide dying from suicide yearly, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.

“Even the cases that are being detected are not being reported as frequently as they used to be,” said Ali H. Mokdad, professor of health metrics sciences at the university’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “In many states, many counties, it’s only once a week.”

“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.”
