  • Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021

    Open AccessMichael Brauer, Gregory A Roth et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…

    Open AccessNatalia V Bhattacharjee, Austin E Schumacher et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…

  • Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021

    Open AccessMohsen Naghavi, Kanyin Liane Ong et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mort…

  • Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessAustin E Schumacher, Hmwe Hmwe Kyu et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…

    Open AccessAlize J Ferrari, Damian Francesco Santomauro et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations.

  • Tobacco smoking clusters in households affected by tuberculosis in an individual participant data meta-analysis of national tuberculosis prevalence surveys

    Open AccessYohhei Hamada, Matteo Quartagno et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Tuberculosis (TB) and non-communicable diseases (NCD) share predisposing risk factors. TB-associated NCD might cluster within households affected with TB requiring shared prevention and care strategies. We conducted an individual participant data meta-analysis of national TB prevalence surveys to determine whether NCD cluster in members of households with TB. We identified eligible surveys that reported at least one NCD or NCD risk factor through…

  • Uptake of reproductive, maternal and child health services during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic in Uganda

    Open AccessSimon Peter Sebina Kibira, Emily Evens et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Use of reproductive health (RH), maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda is suboptimal. Reasons for this are complex; however, service-delivery factors such as availability, quality, staffing, and supplies, contribute substantially to low uptake. The COVID-19 pandemic threatened to exacerbate existing challenges to delivery and use of high-quality RH and MNCH services. We conducted a mixed methods study, combining secondary a…

  • Alcohol use and associated risk factors among female sex workers in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessAlicja Beksinska, Oda Karlsen et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Due to its widespread use in the sex work industry, female sex workers (FSWs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are at high risk of harmful alcohol use and associated adverse health outcomes. Factors associated with harmful alcohol use include violence, mental health problems, drug use, sexual risk behaviors and HIV/STIs. To our knowledge, there has been no quantitative synthesis of FSW alcohol use data to date. This systematic review a…

  • Cognitive impairment following traumatic brain injury in Uganda

    Open AccessTimothy Mwanje Kintu, Vanessa Katengeke et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Background As the burden of dementia continues to rise in sub-Saharan Africa, it is crucial to develop an evidence base for potentially modifiable risk factors such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Cognitive impairment may result from TBI and since it is an established prodromal form of dementia, we investigated the burden of cognitive impairment and associated factors in persons with a history of TBI in southwestern Uganda. Methods This was a co…

  • Healthy behaviours, treatment, and control status of diagnosed hypertension and diabetes among the government nurses and para-health professionals of Bangladesh

    Open AccessLingkan Barua, Palash Chandra Banik et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Chronic illness among health professionals (HPs) is rarely reported due to idealistic views of their role in treating and fighting diseases. This creates a gap mainly due to a lack of research on them, resulting in insufficient data at the national level, especially in Bangladesh. In this circumstance, we analyzed the data of senior staff nurses (SSNs) and para-health professionals (PHPs) to assess their healthy bahaviours, treatment, and control…

    Open AccessDeshira D Wallace, Nastacia Pereira et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The emotional burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) can complicate self-management. Exploring the feasibility of mental and physical health co-management in limited-resourced settings is needed.

We conducted a formative qualitative study using in-depth interviews with 14 providers, including physicians…

  • Exploring health-seeking behavior for non-communicable chronic conditions in northern Bangladesh

    Open AccessFatema Binte Rasul, Malabika Sarker et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) account for 67% of total deaths in Bangladesh. However, the Bangladeshi health system is inadequately prepared to tackle NCDs. Evidence on NCD-specific health-seeking behavior can help appropriately address the needs of people affected by NCDs in Bangladesh. Our study aims to explore health-seeking behavior for people affected by NCDs in northern Bangladesh. We conducted a qualitative study in Mithapukur, Rangpur,…

  • Systematic review of food insecurity and violence against women and girls

    Open AccessAbigail M Hatcher, Sabrina Page et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a global human rights and public health concern. Food insecurity is a sign of severe poverty, and likely to heighten women’s vulnerability to VAWG and men’s perpetration of it. However, the extent of the association and the multiple pathways between food insecurity and VAWG are not well understood. We systematically assessed peer reviewed quantitative and qualitative literature to explore this in low- an…

    Open AccessAli Lotfizadeh, Benjamin Palafox et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Despite their potential to prevent or delay the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD), medicines for CVD remain unavailable and unaffordable to many in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We systematically reviewed the literature to identify factors associated with availability and affordability of CVD medicines in LMICs. A protocol for this study was registered on the PROSPERO register of systematic reviews (CRD42019135393)…
