Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) is the largest ever systematic
effort to describe the global distribution and causes of a wide array of major
diseases, injuries, and health risk factors. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
The results show that infectious diseases, maternal and child illness, and
malnutrition now cause fewer deaths and less illness than they did twenty years
ago. As a result, fewer children are dying every year, but more young and
middle-aged adults are dying and suffering from disease and injury, as
non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and heart disease, become the
dominant causes of death and disability worldwide. <br>
Since 1970, men and women worldwide have gained slightly more than ten years of
life expectancy overall, but they spend more years living with injury and
illness. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
