Description
Junliang Zhu and twelve colleagues charted the global burden of maternal disorders across three decades. The Sustainable Development Goals target a maternal mortality ratio under seventy deaths per hundred thousand live births by twenty thirty. Progress has been uneven. Using the Global Burden of Disease twenty twenty-one database, the team analyzed incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years from nineteen ninety to twenty twenty-one. Age-period-cohort models separated the forces behind change.
Worldwide incidence fell by about thirty-nine percent and mortality by about forty-three percent. Disability-adjusted life years dropped by about sixty-one percent. Stark regional disparities persisted beneath those gains. The twenty twenty-six study also forecasts trends to twenty thirty-six. Its message: global averages hide the places where mothers still face the highest risk.
