Description
Qian Xu and eight co-authors charted in 2026 how changeable risk factors shaped health in women aged fifteen to forty-nine across the world from 1990 to 2021. Data came from the Global Burden of Disease study, covering eighty-three risks in three families: body, behavior, and environment. In 2021 these risks accounted for about a third of deaths in this age group. Exposure and burden were tracked by region and wealth level.
Unsafe sex, iron shortage, high body weight, and high blood sugar led the harm list. Environmental and work exposures mostly fell over the three decades. Body risks, above all weight and blood sugar, rose almost everywhere. Poorer regions still bore reproductive and nutrition risks, while richer ones bore body and behavior risks. The authors urge strategies matched to each setting.
