However, people have often been exposed to various risk factors earlier in life, affecting their chances of premature death. These risk factors can include behaviors – such as smoking and low exercise – and environmental factors, such as air pollution, unsafe water, and pathogens.

The visualizations here focus on the disease burden resulting from non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The chart shows the relationship between average income — measured by GNI per capita — and the burden of disease, with global data from 2012. The burden of disease is broken down into communicable diseases and non-communicable diseases. The chart shows that communicable diseases in particular are closely correlated to average income levels. The rel...
The chart below shows the relationship between the total burden of disease versus average health expenditure per person, measured in US dollars. At low levels of health expenditure, there is a steep decline in the disease burden as expenditure rises. However, as incomes rise, the magnitude of the decline slows down.

Apr 3, 2024 · The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 cause-of-death analysis estimated mortality and years of life lost (YLLs) from 288 causes of death by age-sex-location-year in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations for each year from 1990 until 2021.

May 18, 2024 · From this perspective, particulate matter air pollution, high SBP, smoking, low birthweight and short gestation, and high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were associated with the highest levels of global death and disability in 2021. Strategies that address these risk factors will reduce the overall burden.
