Background: Diarrhoeal diseases claim more than 1 million lives annually and are a leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. Comprehensive global estimates of the diarrhoeal disease burden for specific age groups of children younger than 5 years are scarce, and the burden in children older than 5 years and in adults is also understudied. We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to assess the burden of, and trends in, diarrhoeal diseases overall and attributable to 13 pathogens, as well as the contributions of associated risk factors, in children and adults in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

- * Recent efforts to stop smoking haven't been put into action yet, and it’s important to see what could happen if smoking rates stay the same or improve.
- * Researchers used models to predict health outcomes by 2050 based on different scenarios of smoking rates, showing that cutting smoking could greatly improve health and life expectancy.
Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health issue in the 21st century, affecting the burden of disease and mortality linked to bacterial infections across various regions.
- A comprehensive study was conducted to assess the impact of AMR from 1990 to 2021, analyzing data from 204 countries on deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to 22 pathogens and 84 pathogen-drug combinations.
- The researchers employed statistical modeling and extensive datasets to estimate AMR's burden, even in areas lacking direct data, considering multiple factors such as sepsis-related deaths and antibiotic resistance rates.
