It includes refined methods to assess data, ensure epidemiological consistency, and summarize the disease burden. Global Burden of Disease and Risk Factors examines the comparative importance of diseases, injuries, and risk factors; it incorporates a range of new data sources to develop consistent estimates of incidence, prevalence, severity and duration, and mortality for 136 major diseases and injuries. Drawing from more than 8,500 data sources that include epidemiological studies, disease registers, and notifications systems, this book incorporates information from more than 10,000 datasets relating to population health and mortality, representing one of the largest syntheses of global information on population health to date.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADULT MORTALITYAGE DISTRIBUTIONAGE GROUPSBURDEN OF DISEASECANCERSCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCAUSES OF DEATHCENSUSESCHILD DEATHCHILD HEALTHDEATH RATESDEATHS OF CHILDRENDECISION MAKINGDEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSDEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIABETESDIABETES MELLITUSDISABILITYDISEASE BURDENDISEASE CONTROLDISEASESDISSEMINATIONEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSISEPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICSEPIDEMIOLOGYFEMALESFERTILITYINJURIESLEADING CAUSESLEADING CAUSES OF DEATHLEGAL STATUSLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTHLIVE BIRTHSMALIGNANT NEOPLASMSMIDDLE EASTMINORITYMORTALITYMORTALITY BY CAUSEMORTALITY RATESNEONATAL MORTALITYNEWBORNNEWBORN DEATHSNORTH AFRICAPACIFIC REGIONPOLICY MAKERSPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION HEALTHPOPULATION SIZEPREMATURE DEATHPREVALENCEPROGRESSREGIONAL POPULATIONRISK FACTORSRISK OF DEATHSEXSEX RATIOSSTATIONARY POPULATIONSUB-SAHARAN AFRICAVITAL STATISTICSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6262-4
