IHME in the news

This might explain why fertility rates have been declining in most developed countries [links to IHME’s recent publication on global fertility rates]— not just in the United States — despite differences in their economic systems and social welfare policies.

UNICEF collaborated with the Health Effects Institute, an independent nonprofit research organization, and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) on the State of Global Air 2024 report.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s most recent “Global Burden of Disease” study reveals that the United States boasts 15.4 deaths per 100,000 people annually – more than double our closest competitor, Canada, with 6.9.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s (IHME) 2021–2022 data shows that average annual health expenditure (in USD) per person in the Pacific region, excluding Australia and New Zealand, was $583.

Researchers have published the State of Global Air (SoGA) 2024 report, which presents data on exposures to and health impacts of common air pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and, for the first time, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), from 1990-2021.

Antimicrobial resistance was responsible for nearly 5 million deaths globally in 2019, according to the US-based Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

Noncommunicable diseases cause the majority of deaths in India, but public health responses fall short.

The Health Effects Institute’s report [in collaboration with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation] reveals that air pollution was responsible for 8.1 million deaths worldwide in 2021.

Canada, Japan, Singapore and Germany — places lauded for their successful efforts to contain COVID-19 — are now seeing unusual levels of excess mortality, said Christopher Murray, Washington-based director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

The ambitious study looked at air pollution on a global scale, across a 40 year period using NASA satellite data and incidences of premature death linked to air pollution from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in the US.

Substantial differences existed in the way the 20 leading causes of disease affected females and males worldwide, a study [IHME-led GBD 2021 research] involving data from 1990 to 2021 found.

[The risk factors] are among the main determinants of the loss of years of healthy life among Portuguese people.

According to new GBD 2021 data, life expectancy is expected to increase by almost five years around the world by 2050.

In the absence of a major health innovation, these factors are predicted to remain relevant over the next several decades,” said Emmanuela Gakidou, co-founder of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington.

According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, countries where life expectancy is currently lower are expected to see the largest increase.
