“….On *December 14, 2012 The Lancet together with the Institute for Health
Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)* will host an event to present the findings
of the 2010 GBD study.
The launch of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors
Study 2010 results will feature discussion of comparable estimates of
mortality, causes of death, years lived with disability (YLDs), and
disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 conditions and 67 risk
factors, for 21 regions and three time periods – 1990, 2005, and 2010.****


The results reveal substantial shifts in the burden of disease from
children to younger adults, from premature mortality to morbidity and
disability, from communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional
conditions to noncommunicable diseases.
Overlaid on these major shifts are important regional variations and the
ongoing challenge in sub-Saharan **Africa** of conditions related to
Millennium Development Goals 4, 5, and 6. ****


*Details of the event*:****

This free one-day event is open to the public and will feature five panel
sessions with the opportunity for open discussion of key findings and
implications. The event will occur from 9:00am to 5:30pm at the Royal
Society (6-9 Carlton House Terrace, ****London**** SW1Y 5AG).
No registration is required. If you are unable to attend the event, a live
webcast of each session will be available.
