  • Leveraging global tools for adolescent and youth health planning and programming

    Open AccessAnaclet Ngabonzima, Sarah Keogh et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2026

    Madagascar, with a significant proportion of its population aged 10-24 years, has developed a comprehensive National Strategic Plan for Adolescent and Youth Health (2025-2030) to improve adolescent and youth health and well-being. This process applied the second edition of Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!) guidance and the Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent Health (GAMA)-recommended indicators to ensure an evidenc…

  • National, regional, and global trends in insufficient physical activity among adults from 2000 to 2022

    Open AccessTessa Strain, Seymour Flaxman et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2024

    BACKGROUND: Insufficient physical activity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases, poor physical and cognitive function, weight gain, and mental ill-health. Global prevalence of adult insufficient physical activity was last published for 2016, with limited trend data. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of insufficient physical activity for 197 countries and territories, from 2000 to 2022. METHODS: We collated physical activity reported …

  • Global and regional levels and trends of child and adolescent morbidity from 2000 to 2016

    Open AccessRegina Guthold, Emily White Johansson et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Non-fatal health loss makes a substantial contribution to the total disease burden among children and adolescents. An analysis of these morbidity patterns is essential to plan interventions that improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Our objective was to describe current levels and trends in the non-fatal disease burden from 2000 to 2016 among children and adolescents aged 0-19 years. METHODS: We used years l…

  • Patterns and trends in causes of child and adolescent mortality 2000–2016

    Open AccessKathleen Strong, Jon Pedersen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    The under-5 mortality rate has declined from 93 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990 to 39 per 1000 live births in 2018. This improvement in child survival warrants an examination of age-specific trends and causes of death over time and across regions and an extension of the survival focus to older children and adolescents. We examine patterns and trends in mortality for neonates, postneonatal infants, young children, older children, young adolesc…

  • Global trends in insufficient physical activity among adolescents

    Open AccessRegina Guthold, G A Stevens et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Child & Adolescent…2020

    BACKGROUND: Physical activity has many health benefits for young people. In 2018, WHO launched More Active People for a Healthier World, a new global action on physical activity, including new targets of a 15% relative reduction of global prevalence of insufficient physical activity by 2030 among adolescents and adults. We describe current prevalence and trends of insufficient physical activity among school-going adolescents aged 11-17 years by c…

  • Worldwide trends in insufficient physical activity from 2001 to 2016

    Open AccessRegina Guthold, G A Stevens et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2018

    BACKGROUND: Insufficient physical activity is a leading risk factor for non-communicable diseases, and has a negative effect on mental health and quality of life. We describe levels of insufficient physical activity across countries, and estimate global and regional trends. METHODS: We pooled data from population-based surveys reporting the prevalence of insufficient physical activity, which included physical activity at work, at home, for transp…

    Objectives. We sought to outline the framework and methods used by the World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach to noncommunicable disease (NCD) surveillance (STEPS), describe the development and current status, and discuss strengths, limitations, and future directions of STEPS surveillance. Methods. STEPS is a WHO-developed, standardized but flexible framework for countries to monitor the main NCD risk factors through questionnaire asse…

  • Socioeconomic inequalities in risk factors for non communicable diseases in low-income and middle-income countries

    Open AccessAhmad Reza Hosseinpoor, Nicole Bergen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Disaggregated analysis of the prevalence of non-communicable disease risk factors demonstrated different patterns and varying degrees of socioeconomic inequalities across low- and middle-income settings. Interventions should aim to reach and achieve sustained benefits for high-risk populations
