To come to these conclusions, the study forecasts cause-specific mortality; YLLs; YLDs; disability-adjusted life years (DALYs, or lost years of healthy life due to poor health and early death); life expectancy; and HALE from 2022 through 2050 for 204 countries and territories. "In addition t...
Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study...
that would be 1900. And at that time, life expectancy-- the disparities in life expectancy between the white and Black population was over 14 years, close to 15. So the white population had an advantage in life expectancy of over 14 years. And that declined gradually...
Main outcome measuresDisease specific contributions to changes in life expectancy in ages 40-84 (LE40-84) over time in populations grouped by two levels of Human Development Index (HDI) values. ResultsDeclining CVD mortality rates during 1981-2010 contributed to, on average, over half of the ...
Thanks to the income growth and improvements in education and health care, the average life expectancy of Chinese people reached 77.9 years in 2020, 5.2 years above the global average.
Considering that women had a longer life expectancy than men, more women lived with an increased risk of poor prognosis of IS, which might be one reason for the more DALYs number in women previously. The similar levels of DALYs number across sexes in recent years may result from the lower ...
Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life [6]. Female expected years of schooling represents the number of years of schooling that a girl of schoo...
When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of causes of death globally and over time, providing a nuanced understanding of the effect of these causes on global populations. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (...

"In just two years, the COVID-19 pandemic erased a decade of gains in life expectancy," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. Stressing the importance of the Pandemic Agreement, he said it will "not only strengthen global health security, but protect l...
