The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) is a comprehensive study that measures the impact of diseases, injuries, and risk factors on populations worldwide. It provides valuable data on mortality and morbidity, helping to identify health priorities and allocate resources effectively. The GBD uses metrics like Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) to quantify the overall health loss due to various conditions. By analyzing trends over time, the GBD informs policymakers and health organizations about emerging health challenges. This information is crucial for developing strategies to improve public health and reduce the burden of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and cardiovascular diseases.
