GBD Compare

Open data visual

Analyze how disease patterns have changed over time with the GBD’s most comprehensive visualization. Answer questions like: What was the global death toll of COVID-19 in 2020? What is the top cause of disability in your country? What percentage of lung cancer deaths were caused by smoking?  

Use maps, plots, treemaps, arrow diagrams, and a dozen other charts to compare trends in diseases, injuries, and risk factors; to explore the health profile within a country by age and sex; to compare countries with one another; or to explore regional and global trends. The visualization is available in 16 languages and the data is available to download.
