The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations.

Annual estimates for deaths, DALYs, YLLs, and YLDs attributable to 88 risk factors, as well as estimates for summary exposure values (SEVs) by risk, are available from the GBD Results Tool. Estimates are available by age and sex for 1990-2021. Select tables and a supplementary results appendix published in The Lancet in May 2024 in "Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021" are also available for download via the link below.
