Description
The GBD 2015 Risk Factors Collaborators published a comparative risk assessment in 2016. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 gives an up-to-date synthesis of evidence on risk factor exposure and the disease burden it causes. The analysis covered dozens of behavioral, environmental, occupational, and metabolic risks.
By providing national and subnational assessments spanning twenty-five years, the study can inform policy where it is made. It shows which risks drive the most illness in each place, from smoking and air pollution to high blood pressure. Rankings differ sharply between countries, so global averages mislead. Governments use these assessments to set prevention priorities and track whether they work.
