The latest findings from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021, published today in The Lancet, present comprehensive estimates of the disease burden of 88 risk factors and their associated health outcomes over 1990 for 204 countries and territories. Till 2021.
Between 2000 and 2021, researchers found an increase in people experiencing metabolic risk factors, such as high systolic blood pressure (SBP), high fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high body mass index (BMI), high LDL or ba cholesterol, and kidney dysfunction.
This led to a 49.4 percent increase in the number of global DALYs, disability-adjusted life years (years of healthy life lost due to poor health and early death). Researchers have shown this to be a result of growing populations and changing lifestyles globally.
Particulate matter air pollution, smoking, low birth weight and shorter pregnancies were also among the biggest contributors to DALYs in 2021, the researchers said.
“The risk factors that currently lead to poor health, such as obesity and other components of the metabolic syndrome, exposure to ambient particulate matter (AI) pollution, and tobacco use, are important for global health policy efforts to reduce health risks and exposures.” Deficiency in should be addressed through a combination of.and improving population health,” said Dr. Emmanuella Gakidou, Professor of Health Metric Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).

The study also found that substantial progress has been made in reducing the global burden of disease caused by maternal and child health risk factors between 2000 and 2021; unsafe water, sanitation and hand washing; and household AI pollution from solid fuel cooking.
Dr. Greg Roth, director of the Cardiovascular Health Metrics program at IHM, called for an "urgent need for interventions focused on obesity and metabolic syndrome."
