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 estimates for incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to 369 diseases and injuries 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 369 diseases and injuries, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019" are also available for download via the “Files” tab above.
