Executive Summary
The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) is the most comprehensive worldwide observational epidemiological study to date.
It describes mortality and morbidity from major diseases, injuries and risk factors to health at global, national and regional levels.
Examining trends from 1990 to the present and making comparisons across populations enables understanding of the changing health challenges facing people across the world in the 21st century.
