The progress in mortality reduction not only varies by age, but also over time. The mortality rates decreased notably faster for ages under 70 during 1990-2010 compared to after 2010, at least in Low middle...
Men die at higher rates in nearly all places and at all ages beyond age 45. Using World Health Organization excess mortality estimates by sex and age groups for 75 countries in 2020 and 62 countries in...
This study compares the magnitude of national level losses that the COVID-19 pandemic inflicted across three critical dimensions: loss of life, loss of income, and loss of learning. The well-being consequences...
The Levels and Trends in Child Mortality Report is an annual report presenting the latest, most reliable data and estimates of stillbirths, all-cause child and adolescent mortality, and child and adolescent...
This working paper seeks to utilise mortality data, when linked to population register data, to assess the potential of such data in developing robust estimators for hard-to-reach groups, specifically...
Multidimensional poverty measures can in theory make well-being comparisons that are less biased than those solely based on monetary poverty. However, multidimensional poverty measures suffer in practice...
This study explores whether hospitals with higher increases in obesity levels have higher cesarean section (CS) rates and the consequential effects on maternal and newborn health in Mexico for 2008–2015...
Esta Asistencia Técnica (AT), desarrollada bajo la guía y apoyo de la DIGESA y del Programa de EC del MSP, está enfocada en comenzar a llenar ese espacio, proveyendo primero un análisis de los modelos...
This manuscript analyzes the effect temperature on human mortality rates in Argentina. The study rests on nonparametric techniques applied to data with a panel structure to estimate the causal effect of...
This report includes: what is the disease burden, why does it matter and what does it mean for health systems?; rapidly aging populations and heavy NCDs burdens are driving rising care dependency needs;...
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, by area. The country has a long history of conflict, political upheaval, and instability and has a very high poverty...
Poverty measures typically do not account for mortality, resulting in counter-intuitive evaluations. The reason is that they (i) suffer from a mortality paradox and (ii) do not attribute intrinsic value...
Global studies of the health impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) have been based on particle mass, but there is evolving evidence indicating that adverse health effects can vary depending on the...
According to the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study, air pollution from fine particulate matter caused 6.4 million premature deaths and 93 billion days lived with illness in 2019. Over the past decade...
This review of the epidemiological literature on fugitive dust indicates the likelihood of significant public health impacts from both short- and long-term exposure to both fine and coarse dust. These...
