Assessing performance of the Healthcare Access and Quality Index, overall and by select age groups, for 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Drawing from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD 2019), we measured the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index overall and for select age groups in 204 locations from 1990 to 2019.
Mapping development and health effects of cooking with solid fuels in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000–18: a geospatial modelling study
We estimated the prevalence of solid-fuel use with high spatial resolution to explore subnational inequalities, assess local progress, and assess the effects on health in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) without universal access to clean fuels.
Time trends in tuberculosis mortality across the BRICS: an age-period-cohort analysis for the GBD 2019
This study assesses the time trends of tuberculosis mortality across Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) with an emphasis on HIV status from 1990 to 2019.
The prevalence of onchocerciasis in Africa and Yemen, 2000–2018: a geospatial analysis
Using Bayesian model-based geostatistics, we generated spatially continuous estimates of all-age 2000–2018 onchocerciasis infection prevalence at the 5 × 5-km resolution as well as aggregations to the national level, along with corresponding estimates of the uncertainty in these predictions.
Onchocerciasis (river blindness)
Explore local patterns in onchocerciasis across 34 African countries and Yemen from 2000 to 2018.
COVID spending on vaccine delivery
See development assistance for the delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine.
US health care spending on respiratory diseases, 1996-2016
We aimed to estimate US health care spending for 11 respiratory conditions from 1996-2016, providing detailed trends and an evaluation of factors associated with spending growth.
The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010–19: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally.
Air quality and health in cities
This State of Global Air report provides an overview of air pollution levels and associated health impacts in cities around the world.
All-cause and cause-specific mortality among people with severe mental illness in Brazil’s public health system, 2000–15: a retrospective study
We aimed to estimate all-cause and cause-specific relative risk (RR) and excess mortality rate (EMR) in a nationwide cohort of inpatients with severe mental illness compared with inpatients without severe mental illness in a middle income country, Brazil.
Age-sex differences in the global burden of lower respiratory infections and risk factors, 1990–2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We assessed the burden and trends of LRIs and risk factors across all age groups by sex, for 204 countries and territories.
National, sub-national, and risk-attributed burden of thyroid cancer in Iran from 1990 to 2019
The objective of this study is to present the thyroid cancer burden and attributed burden to the high Body Mass Index (BMI) in Iran at national and sub-national levels from 1990 to 2019.
Varied health spending growth across US states was associated with income, price levels, and Medicaid expansion, 2000-19
Contemporary estimates of state health spending are valuable for tracking divergent expenditure trajectories in the US and assessing the associated factors.
Dramatic differences in health care spending
The gap between the US states that spend the most and least on health is wide, and varied growth rates mean that the gap between those who spend the most and the least is only increasing. More than 45% of the differences in health spending can be explained by income and regional prices, but much of the variation remains unexplained.
Mapping local variation in household overcrowding across Africa from 2000 to 2018: a modeling study
In this study, we aimed to estimate household overcrowding in Africa between 2000 and 2018 by combining available household survey data, population censuses, and other country-specific household surveys within a geostatistical framework.
Measuring contraceptive method mix, prevalence, and demand satisfied by age and marital status in 204 countries and territories, 1970–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We present estimates of the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR), modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR), demand satisfied, and the method of contraception used for both partnered and unpartnered women for 5-year age groups in 204 countries and territories between 1970 and 2019.
Burden of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in adults in the Americas, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
High prevalence of diabetes has been reported in the Americas, but no comprehensive analysis of diabetes burden and related factors for the region is available. We aimed to describe the burden of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and that of hyperglycaemia in the Americas from 1990 to 2019.
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020
Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year.
Drinking alcohol has significant health risks for young people, small amounts may be beneficial for some older adults
New analysis suggests that recommendations for how much one can drink should be based on age and local disease rates.
County-level variation in the prevalence of visual acuity loss or blindness in the US
We provide estimates of visual acuity loss and blindness in the US by county.
Estimates, trends, and drivers of the global burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to PM2·5 air pollution, 1990–2019: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
In view of the high and increasing prevalence of diabetes, we aimed to quantify the burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to PM2·5 originating from ambient and household air pollution.
