Summary 

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019), 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 deaths, YLLs, YLDs, and DALYs attributable to 87 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 1990-2019. Select tables published in The Lancet in October 2020 in "Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019" are also available for download via the “Files” tab above.
