Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015) Risk Factor Results 1990-2015

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors at the global, regional, national, territorial, and, for a subset of countries, subnational level.

Estimates for deaths, YLLs, YLDs, and DALYs attributable to 79 risk factors by age, sex, and location and estimates for summary exposure values (SEVs) for 21 regions, 195 countries and territories and 4 United Kingdom subnational units for 1990-2015 (quinquennial) are available from the GBD Results Tool. Files available in this record include select tables, including relative risks, published in The Lancet in October 2016 in "Global, regional and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioral, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990-2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015."
