Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016) Covariates 1980-2016
General Info
The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 195 countries and territories and at the subnational level for a subset of countries.
Covariates, which are independent variables with a positive or negative relationship to GBD diseases and conditions, are used to inform the estimation process in all models of the GBD study. Types of covariates used include socioeconomic, demographic, health system access, climate, and food consumption. This dataset contains data for 565 covariates for 1980-2016 used in the GBD 2016 study. Please note that data for England is not included for some covariates.
