Abstract

Background

Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we estimated the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for diseases and injuries at the global, regional, and national scale over the period of 1990 to 2015.

Methods

We estimated incidence and prevalence by age, sex, cause, year, and geography with a wide range of updated and standardised analytical procedures. Improvements from GBD 2013 included the addition of new data sources, updates to literature reviews for 85 causes, and the identification and inclusion of additional studies published up to November, 2015, to expand the database used for estimation of non-fatal outcomes to 60 900 unique data sources. Prevalence and incidence by cause and sequelae were determined with DisMod-MR 2.1, an improved version of the DisMod-MR Bayesian meta-regression tool first developed for GBD 2010 and GBD 2013. For some causes, we used alternative modelling strategies where the complexity of the disease was not suited to DisMod-MR 2.1 or where incidence and prevalence needed to be determined from other data. For GBD 2015 we created a summary indicator that combines measures of income per capita, educational attainment, and fertility (the Socio-demographic Index [SDI]) and used it to compare observed patterns of health loss to the expected pattern for countries or locations with similar SDI scores.

Findings

We generated 9·3 billion estimates from the various combinations of prevalence, incidence, and YLDs for causes, sequelae, and impairments by age, sex, geography, and year. In 2015, two causes had acute incidences in excess of 1 billion: upper respiratory infections (17·2 billion, 95% uncertainty interval [UI] 15·4–19·2 billion) and diarrhoeal diseases (2·39 billion, 2·30–2·50 billion). Eight causes of chronic disease and injury each affected more than 10% of the world's population in 2015: permanent caries, tension-type headache, iron-deficiency anaemia, age-related and other hearing loss, migraine, genital herpes, refraction and accommodation disorders, and ascariasis. The impairment that affected the greatest number of people in 2015 was anaemia, with 2·36 billion (2·35–2·37 billion) individuals affected. The second and third leading impairments by number of individuals affected were hearing loss and vision loss, respectively. Between 2005 and 2015, there was little change in the leading causes of years lived with disability (YLDs) on a global basis. NCDs accounted for 18 of the leading 20 causes of age-standardised YLDs on a global scale. Where rates were decreasing, the rate of decrease for YLDs was slower than that of years of life lost (YLLs) for nearly every cause included in our analysis. For low SDI geographies, Group 1 causes typically accounted for 20–30% of total disability, largely attributable to nutritional deficiencies, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Lower back and neck pain was the leading global cause of disability in 2015 in most countries. The leading cause was sense organ disorders in 22 countries in Asia and Africa and one in central Latin America; diabetes in four countries in Oceania; HIV/AIDS in three southern sub-Saharan African countries; collective violence and legal intervention in two north African and Middle Eastern countries; iron-deficiency anaemia in Somalia and Venezuela; depression in Uganda; onchoceriasis in Liberia; and other neglected tropical diseases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Interpretation

Ageing of the world's population is increasing the number of people living with sequelae of diseases and injuries. Shifts in the epidemiological profile driven by socioeconomic change also contribute to the continued increase in years lived with disability (YLDs) as well as the rate of increase in YLDs. Despite limitations imposed by gaps in data availability and the variable quality of the data available, the standardised and comprehensive approach of the GBD study provides opportunities to examine broad trends, compare those trends between countries or subnational geographies, benchmark against locations at similar stages of development, and gauge the strength or weakness of the estimates available.

Introduction

Although substantial progress has been made toward reducing mortality and extending life expectancy throughout the world over the past few decades, the epidemiological transition is manifest in the growing importance of non-fatal diseases, outcomes, and injuries which pose, partly as a consequence of decreasing death rates, a rising challenge to the ability of the world's population to live in full health. Complementing information on deaths by age, sex, cause, geography, and time with equally detailed information on disease incidence, prevalence, and severity is key to a balanced debate in health policy. For this reason, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study uses the disability-adjusted life-year (DALY), combining years of life lost (YLLs) due to mortality and years lived with disability (YLDs) in a single metric. One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of healthy life. The sum of DALYs in a population can be thought of as the gap between the population's present health status and an ideal situation where the entire population lives to an advanced age, free of disease. Assessments of how different diseases lead to multimorbidity and reductions in functional health status are important for both health system planning1 and a broader range of social policy issues such as the appropriate age for retirement in some countries.2, 3 Many challenges in making standardised estimates of non-fatal health outcomes are similar to those affecting mortality estimates (including variations in case definitions, data collection methods, variable quality of data collection, conflicting data, and missing data) but are compounded by more sparse and varied data sources, the need to characterise each disease by its disabling sequelae or consequence (s), and the need to quantify the severity of these consequences. The standardised approach of the annual GBD updates addresses these measurement problems to enhance comparability between causes by geography and over time.

The estimates from GBD 2013 drew attention to large increases in the number of YLDs over the previous decade, whereas rates of YLDs for most causes remained stable or showed only small decreases.4 The GBD 2013 assessment largely attributed increases in the number of YLDs to musculoskeletal disorders, mental and substance use disorders, neurological disorders, and chronic respiratory diseases, as well as population growth and ageing. GBD 2013 also brought attention to increased differences in trends between mortality and morbidity for many causes. YLDs as a proportion of DALYs increased globally, a manifestation of the continuing epidemiological transition in low-income and middle-income countries. Decreases in mortality from diseases such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, maternal and neonatal disorders, and an absence of progress in reducing YLD rates continued to drive a transition toward a greater global number of YLDs.

Along with broad recognition that data from some regions were sparse and that more and higher quality data in general would probably improve estimation, useful debates on the GBD results have been published. These debates have focused on the analysis or presentation of individual diseases, such as changes over time in GBD estimates of dementia,5 the accuracy of HIV incidence estimates,6, 7 the absence of sepsis as a disease,8, 9 the quality of some cancer registry data,10 and the absence of mental disorders as sequelae of neglected tropical diseases.11 The GBD empirical approach to measuring the public's view of health state severity has generated substantial interest with questions about the relative importance of different dimensions of health,12, 13 the quantification of health loss,14, 15 and discussions of the transferability of judgments about relative health to conventional notions of disability and dependence.5 In each cycle of the GBD, we seek to improve the estimates, reflecting published and unpublished critique through the acquisition of new data, expansion of the network of collaborators, changes in how data are corrected for bias, advances in modelling techniques, and the targeted expansion of the GBD cause list.

The primary objective of this component of the GBD was to use all available data of sufficient quality to generate reliable and valid assessments of disease and injury sequelae incidence, prevalence, and YLDs for all 310 causes in the GBD cause hierarchy for 591 locations in the GBD study during 1990–2015. We describe the change over time and between populations in relation to where countries fall on the development continuum.16 Continuing efforts to improve data and code transparency are an important part of the GBD cycle. These results thus supersede any previous publications about the GBD on disease incidence, prevalence, and YLDs.

Methods

Overall approach

We estimated incidence and prevalence by age, sex, cause, year, and geography using a wide range of updated and standardised analytical procedures. The overall logic of our analytical approach is shown for the entire non-fatal estimation process in figure 1. The appendix provides a single source for detail of inputs, analytical processes, and outputs and methods specific to each cause. This study complies with the Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting (GATHER) recommendations (methods appendix pp 1, 608–10).17

Geographies in GBD 2015

The geographies included in GBD 2015 have been arranged into a set of hierarchical categories composed of seven super-regions and a further nested set of 21 regions containing 195 countries and territories. Eight additional subnational assessments were done for Brazil, China, India, Japan, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, and the USA (methods appendix pp 611–24). For this study we present data at the national and territory level.

List of causes and sequelae

The GBD cause and sequelae list is organised hierarchically (methods appendix 625–53). At Level 1 there are three cause groups: communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (Group 1 diseases); non-communicable diseases; and injuries. These Level 1 aggregates are subdivided at Level 2 of the hierarchy into 21 cause groupings. The disaggregation into Levels 3 and 4 contains the finest level of detail for causes captured in GBD 2015. Sequelae of diseases and injuries are organised at Levels 5 and 6 of the hierarchy. The finest detail for all sequelae estimated in GBD is at Level 6 and is aggregated into summary sequelae categories (Level 5) for causes with large numbers of sequelae. Sequelae in GBD are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive, and thus our YLD estimates at each level of the hierarchy sum to the total of the level above. Prevalence aggregations are estimated at the level of individuals who might have more than one sequela or disease and therefore are not additive.

The cause and sequelae list was expanded based upon feedback after the release of GBD 2013 and input from GBD 2015 collaborators. Nine causes for which non-fatal outcomes are estimated were added: Ebola virus disease, motor-neuron disease, environmental heat and cold exposure, four subtypes of leukaemia, and two subtypes of non-melanoma skin cancer (methods appendix pp 625–53). The incorporation of these changes expanded the cause list from the 301 causes with non-fatal estimates examined in GBD 2013, to 310 causes with non-fatal estimates and from 2337 to 2619 unique sequelae at Level 6 of the hierarchy. At the newly created Level 5 of the hierarchy there were 154 summary sequela categories. The methods appendix (pp 654–61) provides a list of International Classification of Diseases version 9 (ICD-9) and version 10 (ICD-10) codes used in the extraction of hospital and claims data, mapped to GBD 2015 non-fatal causes, impairments, and nature of injury categories.

Period of analysis

A complete set of age-specific, sex-specific, cause-specific, and geography-specific incidence and prevalence numbers and rates were computed for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. In this study we focus on trends for main and national results over the past decade, from 2005 to 2015, together with more detailed results for 2015. Online data visualisations at vizhub provide access to results for all GBD metrics.

Non-fatal modelling strategies vary substantially between causes. Figure 1 outlines the general process of non-fatal outcome estimation from data inputs to finalisation of YLD burden results; step 3b of that process identifies alternative modelling approaches used for specific causes (methods appendix pp 603, 604). The starting point for non-fatal estimation is the compilation of data sources identified through systematic analysis and extractions based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria (methods appendix p 603). As part of the inclusion criteria, we defined disease-specific or injury-specific reference case definitions and study methods, as well as alternative allowable case definitions and study methods which were adjusted for if we detected a systematic bias. We used 15 types of primary data sources representing disease prevalence, incidence, mortality risk, duration, remission, or severity in the estimation process (oval shapes in figure 1).

Data sources

For this iteration of the study, we updated data searches through systematic data and literature reviews for 85 causes published up to Oct 31, 2015. For other causes, input from GBD collaborators resulted in the identification and inclusion of a small number of additional studies published after January, 2013. Data were systematically screened from household surveys archived in the Global Health Data Exchange, sources suggested to us by in-country experts, and surveys identified in major multinational survey data catalogues and Ministry of Health and Central Statistical Office websites. Case notifications reported to WHO were updated up to and including 2015. Citations for all data sources used for non-fatal estimation in GBD 2015 are provided in searchable form through a new web tool. A description of the search terms used for cause-specific systematic reviews, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the preferred and alternative case definitions and study methods are detailed by cause in the methods appendix (pp 26–601).

Hospital inpatient data were extracted from 284 country-year and 976 subnational-year combinations from 27 countries in North America, Latin America, Europe, and New Zealand. Outpatient encounter data were available from the USA, Norway, Sweden, and Canada for 48 country-years. For GBD 2015, we also accessed aggregate data derived from claims information in a database of US private and public insurance schemes for the years 2000, 2010, and 2012. From the linked claims data, we generated several correction factors to account for bias in health service encounter data from elsewhere, which were largely available to us aggregated by ICD code and by primary diagnosis only. First, for chronic disorders, we estimated the ratio between prevalence from primary diagnoses and prevalence from all diagnoses associated with a claim. Second, we used the claims data to generate the average number of outpatient visits per disorder. Similarly, we generated per person discharge rates from hospital inpatient data in the USA and New Zealand, the only sources with unique patient identifiers available for GBD 2015.

In GBD 2013, we calculated a geographical and temporal data representativeness index (DRI) of non-fatal data sources for each cause or impairment. The DRI represents the fraction of countries for which any incidence, prevalence, remission, or mortality risk data were available for a cause. This metric quantifies data availability, not data quality. The overall DRI and period-specific DRI measures for each cause and impairment are presented in the methods appendix (pp 662–68). DRI ranged from 90% for nine causes, including tuberculosis and measles, to less than 5% for acute hepatitis C and the category of other exposures to mechanical forces. Required case reporting resulted in high DRI values for notifiable infectious diseases; the network of population-based registries for cancers resulted in a DRI of above 50%. DRI values ranged from 6·1% in North Korea to 91·3% in the USA. Many high-income countries, as well as Brazil, India, and China, had DRI values above 63%; data availability was low in several countries, including Equatorial Guinea, Djibouti, and South Sudan.

Non-fatal disease models

In addition to the corrections applied to claims and hospital data, a number of other adjustments were applied including age–sex splitting, bias correction, adjustments for under-reporting of notification data, and computing expected values of excess mortality. In GBD 2013, we estimated expected values of excess mortality from prevalence or incidence and cause-specific mortality rate data for a few causes only, including tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In order to achieve greater consistency between our cause of death and non-fatal data, we adopted this strategy systematically for GBD 2015. We matched every prevalence data point (or incidence datapoint for short duration disorders) with the cause-specific mortality rate value corresponding to the age range, sex, year, and location of the datapoint. The ratio of cause-specific mortality rate to prevalence is conceptually equivalent to an excess mortality rate.

To estimate non-fatal health outcomes in previous iterations of GBD, most diseases and impairments were modelled in DisMod-MR, a Bayesian meta-regression tool originally developed for GBD 2010 (step 3a in figure 1).18 DisMod-MR was designed to address statistical challenges in estimation of non-fatal health outcomes, and for synthesis of often sparse and heterogeneous epidemiological data. For GBD 2015, the computational engine of DisMod-MR 2.1 remained unchanged, but we substantially rewrote the code that organises the flow of data and settings at each level of the analytical cascade. The sequence of estimation occurs at five levels: global, super-region, region, country, and where applicable, subnational locations (appendix pp 611–24). At each level of the cascade, the DisMod-MR 2.1 computational engine enforces consistency between all disease parameters. For GBD 2015, we generated fits for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. We log-linearly interpolated estimates for the intervening years in each 5-year period. Greater detail on DisMod-MR 2.1 is available at Global Health Data Exchange and the methods appendix (pp 7–11).

In previous iterations of GBD, custom models were created for a short list of causes for which the compartment model underpinning DisMod (susceptible, diseased, and dead) was insufficient to capture the complexity of the disease or for which incidence and prevalence needed to be derived from other data. Step 3b of figure 1 describes the development of custom models with greater detail shown in the methods appendix figure 1B (p 604, and for associated write-ups pp 26–601) for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, cancer, neonatal disorders, infectious diseases for which we derived incidence from seroprevalence data, and infectious diseases for which we derived incidence from cause of death rates and pooled estimates of the case fatality proportion.

In GBD 2013, we estimated the country–age–sex–year prevalence of nine impairments (step 4 of figure 1). Impairments in GBD are disorders or specific domains of functional health loss that are spread across many GBD causes as sequelae and for which there are better data to estimate the occurrence of the overall impairment than for each sequela based on the underlying cause. Overall impairment prevalence was estimated with DisMod-MR 2.1 except for anaemia, for which spatiotemporal Gaussian Process regression methods were applied. We constrained cause-specific estimates of impairments, such as in the 19 causes of blindness, to sum to the total prevalence estimated for that impairment. Anaemia, epilepsy, hearing loss, heart failure, and intellectual disability were estimated at different levels of severity.

Severity distributions

In step 5, sequelae were further defined in terms of severity for 194 causes at Level 4 of the hierarchy (figure 1A). We generally followed the same approach for estimating the distribution of severity as in GBD 2013. For Ebola virus disease, we created a health state for the infectious disease episode with duration derived from average hospital admission times, and a health state for ongoing postinfection malaise and joint problems based on four follow-up studies19, 20, 21, 22 from which we derived an average duration. The health states for the subtypes of leukaemia and non-melanoma skin cancer were the same as the general cancer health states. For motor-neuron disease we accessed the Pooled Resource Open-Access ALS Clinical Trials (PROACT) database containing detailed information on symptoms and impairments for more than 8500 patients who took part in the trials.23

Disability weights

We used the same disability weights as in GBD 2013 (see methods appendix pp 669–94 for a complete listing of the lay descriptions and values for the 235 health states used in GBD 2015).

Comorbidity

In step 7, we estimated the co-occurrence of different diseases by simulating 40 000 individuals in each geography–age–sex–year combination as exposed to the independent probability of having any of the sequelae included in GBD 2015 based on disease prevalence. We tested the contribution of dependent and independent comorbidity in the US Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS) data, and found that independent comorbidity was the dominant factor even though there are well known examples of dependent comorbidity. Age was the main predictor of comorbidity such that age-specific microsimulations accommodated most of the required comorbidity correction. Taking dependent comorbidity into account changed the overall YLDs estimated in the MEPS data by only 2·5% (and ranging from 0·6% to 3·4% depending on age) in comparison to assuming independent comorbidity (methods appendix pp 18–20).24

YLD computation

We report 95% uncertainty intervals (95% UI) for each quantity in this analysis using 1000 samples from the posterior distribution of prevalence and 1000 samples of the disability weight to generate 1000 samples of the YLD distribution. The 95% UI is reported as the 25th and 975th values of the distribution. We report significant changes in disease estimates between countries or over time if the change was noted in more than 950 of the 1000 samples computed for each result. For GBD 2015, we computed age-standardised prevalence YLD rates from the updated world population age standard developed for GBD 2013.25 Less common diseases and their sequelae were included in 35 residual categories (methods appendix pp 695–97). For 22 of these residual categories, estimates were made from epidemiological data for incidence or prevalence. For 13 residual categories, we estimated YLDs by multiplying the residual YLL estimates by the ratio of YLDs to YLLs from the estimates for explicitly modelled Level 3 causes in the same disease category.

Socio-demographic Index

In GBD 2013, a sociodemographic status variable was computed based on a principal components analysis of income per capita, educational attainment, average age of the population, and the total fertility rate.26 For GBD 2015, we excluded mean age of the population because it is directly affected by death rates. To improve interpretability for GBD 2015, we computed a Socio-demographic Index (SDI) similar to the computation of the human development index.27 In the SDI, each component was weighted equally and rescaled from zero (for the lowest value observed during 1980–2015) to one (for the highest value observed) for income per capita and average years of schooling, and the reverse for the total fertility rate. The final SDI score was computed as the geometric mean of each of the components. SDI ranged from 0·060 in Mozambique in 1987 to 0·978 in District of Columbia, USA, in 2015.

Results

Global incidence and prevalence

We generated over 9·3 billion outcomes of incidence, prevalence, and YLDs for 310 diseases, injuries, and aggregate categories; 2619 unique and aggregate sequelae; nine impairments; 63 age–sex groups; 591 geographies; and 26 individual years from 1990 to 2015. Each of these 9·3 billion estimates was calculated 1000 times to determine uncertainty intervals. Here, we present key summary findings on global incidence of short duration diseases, global prevalence of long-term disorders, global prevalence of impairments, global numbers and rates of YLDs and changes from 2005 to 2015, global YLL and YLD rates of change, patterns of comorbidity, the expected changes in the composition of YLDs with SDI, and country findings of leading causes of YLDs.

Disorders of less than 3 months duration and injuries with incidence of more than 1 million cases per year in 2015 are listed in table 1. There were two disorders with incidence greater than 1 billion per year: upper respiratory infections (17·2 billion [95% UI 15·4–19·2 billion]), and diarrhoeal diseases (2·39 billion [2·30–2·50 billion]). A further 13 diseases and injuries caused between 100 million and 1 billion incident cases a year and 16 diseases and injuries had incident cases of between 10 million and 100 million per year (table 1).

Percentage changes that are statistically significant.

The disease and injury sequelae with a duration of more than 3 months and a global prevalence of more than 1% in 2015 are presented in table 2, aggregated to the cause level. Prevalence for impairments is presented at the bottom of table 3. Eight out of 56 high-prevalence causes affected more than 10% of the world's population in 2015. A further 48 causes affected between 1% and 10% of the world's population (table 2). Although many of these causes are not among the dominant causes of YLDs because of comparatively low average disability weights, some causes, such as headaches, gynaecological diseases, oral disorders, and skin diseases, put great demands on health system resources by their sheer numbers.

Anaemia was the most common of our nine impairments, affecting 2·36 billion (2·35–2·37 billion) people in 2015. The next most common impairments were hearing loss of greater than 20 dB (1·33 billion [1·26–1·40 billion]), vision loss (940 million [905–974 million]), developmental intellectual disability (153 million [114–191 million]), infertility (113 million [93·4–136 million]), heart failure (40·0 million [38·6–41·4 million]), and epilepsy (39·2 million [34·3–43·7 million]; table 3; see results appendix (pp 740–48) for the prevalence estimates of the underlying causes of these impairments). Iron deficiency was the cause of anaemia in more than half of all cases. Over 90% of hearing loss was classified as age-related or other hearing loss. The largest number of people with vision loss had uncorrected refraction error. Idiopathic developmental intellectual disability, idiopathic female infertility, and idiopathic epilepsy were the most common causes of their impairments. Ischaemic heart disease was the most common cause of heart failure.

Global causes of disability

Global trends in YLDs 2005 to 2015

GBD 2015 included the assessment of 2619 sequelae at Level 6 of the GBD cause hierarchy, including 1316 sequelae from injuries that contributed to the global burden of disability. Causes at Level 4 of the hierarchy that resulted in 30 million or more YLDs in 2015 included lower back pain, major depressive disorder, age-related and other hearing loss, and neck pain. Figure 2 compares the leading causes of global YLDs in 2005 and 2015, using the cause breakdowns at Level 3 of the GBD cause hierarchy. Among the ten leading causes of YLDs, iron-deficiency anaemia and depressive disorders switched ranks to positions three and four respectively, diabetes rose from the eighth to the sixth position, migraine dropped from position six to seven, and other musculoskeletal disorders dropped from rank seven to eight (figure 2).

Figure 2.

Figure 2

Leading 30 Level 3 causes of global YLDs for both sexes combined, 1990, 2005, and 2015, with percentage change in number of YLDs, and all-age and age-standardised rates

Causes are connected by lines between time periods. For the time period of 1990 to 2005 and for 2005 to 2015, three measures of change are shown: percent change in the number of YLDs, percent change in the all-age YLD rate, and percent change in the age-standardised YLD rate. YLD=years lived with disability. COPD=chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Estimates of prevalence and YLDs at the global level for 2005 and 2015 for each cause are presented in table 3 (see results appendix pp 717–40 for full detail at the sequelae level). Prevalence and age-standardised YLDs for 21 Group 1 diseases decreased significantly and by more than 10%, including measles, African trypanosomiasis, diphtheria, lymphatic filariasis, and rabies.

Age-standardised YLD rates for all maternal causes and sequelae combined decreased between 2005 and 2015, whereas overall age-standardised YLDs for neonatal disorders increased by 3·11% (–0·32–6·79%) since 2005 to 144 YLDs per 100 000 (109–185 YLDs per 100 000) in 2015, and age-standardised YLD rates decreased and absolute numbers of cases increased for nutritional deficiencies. Age-standardised YLD rates attributable to hepatitis A, B, and C increased, and decreased for hepatitis E. The number of individuals with chronic hepatitis C infection increased from 121 million (108–133 million) in 2005 to 142 million (127–157 million) in 2015.

Changes in age-standardised YLDs and YLLs over time

In 2005, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) accounted for 23 of the leading 25 causes of age-standardised YLDs worldwide and 23 of the 25 leading causes in 2015 (figure 2). Although diabetes rose only two ranks in the list of leading cause of YLDs, from position eight to six between 2005 and 2015, the increase in age-standardised rate was 5·4% (3·2–7·5%). Musculoskeletal disorders occupied three of the leading 25 causes of disability in both 2005 and 2015; lower back and neck pain were the single largest cause with little change in their rates. However, age-standardised rates of YLDs increased for osteoarthritis 3·90% (3·00–4·83%) by 2015. Depressive disorders were the fourth leading cause of disability in 2005 and the third leading cause of disability in 2015, and age-standardised YLD rates associated with the disorder increased marginally (1·0% [0·5–1·5%]). Age-standardised rates of YLDs from alcohol use disorders decreased after 2005 (4·5% [2·3–6·4%]) whereas disability due to drug use disorders increased by 8·2% (6·2–10·2%).

In contrast with global trends for NCDs, both relative ranks and age-standardised YLD rates decreased for most injuries. Falls, which were the 13th leading cause of disability in 2005, dropped to the 15th rank, and age-standardised YLD rates decreased (8·58% [5·23–12·2%]). Other unintentional injuries decreased in global rank from 27th in 2005 to 34th in 2015, and age-standardiSed YLD rates decreased by 16·7% (15·7–17·9%).

The leading causes of disability varied considerably with age (figure 3). The leading cause in children younger than 5 years was iron-deficiency anaemia followed by skin diseases, protein-energy malnutrition, and diarrhoea. In older children, iron-deficiency anaemia, skin diseases, asthma, and mental health disorders such as conduct, autistic spectrum, and anxiety disorders were top ten causes of disability. In adolescents and young adults (aged between 15 and 39 years), iron-deficiency anaemia, skin diseases, depression, lower back and neck pain, and migraine led the rankings. Other mental health disorders such as anxiety disorders and schizophrenia were in the top ten causes in this age group. In middle-aged adults, musculoskeletal disorders dominated the top rankings followed by mental health disorders, especially depression. Diabetes and sense organ disorders were more prominent causes of disability in middle-age. In older adults (older than 65 years), sense organ disorders were the top-ranked cause of disability. Musculoskeletal disorders remained a dominant source of disability, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease entered the top ten. In the oldest age groups, ischaemic heart disease and Alzheimer's and other dementias made their first appearance in the top ten.

We examined the trends in YLDs and YLLs in a scatterplot (figure 4). YLLs decreased for the majority of causes. For Group 1 causes and injuries, the decrease in YLLs was accompanied by a decrease in YLDs, albeit at a slower pace. The exceptions were neonatal encephalopathy, haemolytic disease and other neonatal jaundice, leishmaniasis, meningitis, hepatitis, and sexually transmitted diseases with increasing YLD rates between 1990 and 2015. A few Group 1 disorders and injuries had a faster decrease in YLDs than in YLLs: intestinal infections, obstructed labour, and neonatal sepsis. The only NCDs with a faster decrease in YLDs compared with YLLs were epilepsy and cervical cancer. Another small number of NCDs saw an increase in YLDs and YLLs, including drug use disorders, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. NCDs with decreasing YLLs but increasing YLDs included cancers of the prostate, testis, uterus, kidney, colorectum, and pancreas, melanoma, and congenital disorders. Some cancers (stomach and Hodgkin's lymphoma), rheumatic heart disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute glomerulonephritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, hernia, and gallbladder disease had decreasing YLLs and YLDs, but with a faster decrease in YLLs than in YLDs. The rate of change in YLDs for the main drivers of non-fatal health loss, musculoskeletal disorders, and mental and substance use disorders was small.

Global distribution of disability weights across individuals

Figure 5 shows the global distribution of individuals from our comorbidity microsimulation by six categories of disability, age, and sex for the highest and lowest SDI quintile. The six categories of disability are no disability, very mild disability (disability weight less than or equal to 0·01), mild disability (from 0·01 to 0·05 inclusive), moderate (from 0·05 to 0·1 inclusive), severe (from 0·1 to 0·3 inclusive), and profound (greater than 0·3). In 2015, most of the world's population experienced mild or greater disability. Having no disability at all was most common in children. After age 25 years, the proportion of the population having no disability became progressively smaller, and by age 55 years in low SDI countries and age 75 years in high SDI countries, nearly everyone had some form of disability. Very mild to moderate disability (ie, individuals with a disability weight of 0·1 or less) was common in childhood and young adults, but was replaced by more severe disability with increasing age. The patterns were similar for both sexes, apart from a much larger amount of disability in women older than 80 years in the top SDI quintiles, reflecting the much higher average age of women in this age category. For policy considerations around the age of retirement in ageing populations, it is noteworthy that from age 60 years onwards more than half of the population had severe or worse disability. The extent to which this loss of health limits or precludes the ability to work depends on the nature of the impairments and the type of employment in older workers with that level of disability.

Figure 5.

Figure 5

Population pyramids with the number of individuals, by age and sex, grouped by severity of their disability weight (DW) for all comorbid conditions combined into no disability, very mild disability (DW 0–0·01), mild disability (DW 0·01–0·05), moderate disability (DW 0·05–0·1), severe disability (DW 0·1–0·3), and very severe disability (DW >0·3) for geographies of high (A) and low (B) quintiles of Socio-demographic Index in 2015

Disability weights are combined multiplicatively as 1−(1−DW1)(1− DW2)…(1−DWn) for n comorbid sequelae. Socio-demographic Index (SDI) is calculated for each geography as a function of lag-dependent income per capita, average educational attainment in the population aged over 15 years, and the total fertility rate. SDI units are interpretable; a zero represents the lowest level of income per capita, educational attainment, and highest total fertility rate (TFR) observed from 1980 to 2015 and a one represents the highest income per capita, educational attainment, and lowest TFR observed in the same period. Cutoffs on the SDI scale for the quintiles have been selected based on examination of the entire distribution of geographies between 1980 and 2015.

Expected changes in disease profile with higher Socio-demographic Index

Figure 6 depicts changes in patterns of disability by level of SDI for age-standardised and all-age YLD rates per 100 000. Age-standardised YLD rates gradually decreased with increasing SDI in both sexes (figure 6A). The cause composition of YLDs somewhat varied across levels of SDI; these differences were largely derived from absolute levels of disability due to communicable causes and nutritional deficiencies, and to a lesser extent, maternal and neonatal disorders. Age-standardised YLD rates due to NCDs and injuries were similar at all SDI levels.

Figure 6.

Figure 6

Expected relationship between age-standardised years lived with disability (YLD) rates per 100 000 people for the 21 GBD Level 2 causes and SDI (A) and the expected relationship between all-age years lived with disability (YLD) rates per 100 000 people for the 21 GBD Level 2 causes and SDI (B) by sex

These stacked curves represent the average relationship between SDI and each cause of YLDs observed across all geographies over the time period 1990 to 2015. In each figure, the y-axis spans from lowest SDI up to highest SDI. To the left of the midline are male rates, and the female rates are to the right; higher rates are further from the midline. SDI=Socio-demographic Index.

Across levels of SDI, mental and substance use disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and other NCDs were consistently among the leading causes of age-standardised YLD rates. Anaemia led to generally higher rates of age-standardised YLDs in women than in men across levels of SDI, but the largest imbalance occurred at SDI levels between 0·10 and 0·50. Disability from injuries exacted a larger burden for men than for women, particularly at lower levels of SDI.

Without adjustments for population age structure (figure 6B), the effect of ageing populations and causes of disability that disproportionately affect older individuals become prominent. At all levels of SDI, total YLDs per 100 000 did not notably differ by sex; instead, the cause composition of disability showed greater differences. Below an SDI score of 0·25, communicable causes accounted for 30–45% of total disability, primarily due to nutritional deficiencies, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases. YLDs per 100 000 due to musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back and neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders, increased substantially from low to high SDI, with a more pronounced increase beginning at an SDI score of 0·6. This rise was particularly evident in women.

Trends in age-standardised YLDs per capita

Globally, age-standardised YLDs per capita (an indicator of overall disability experienced per person in a given place) moderately decreased for both sexes between 1990 and 2015 (results appendix pp 714–16). Age-standardised YLDs per capita were consistently higher for women than for men at the global level. For both sexes, YLDs per capita were generally higher for lower levels of SDI. YLDs per capita were noticeably larger for low SDI and low-middle SDI groups than for other SDI levels (ie, high SDI, high-middle SDI, and middle SDI), which were more similar to each other.

Leading causes of YLDs and deviations from expected levels based on Socio-demographic Index

Clear, though varied, patterns emerged across and within GBD regions in comparison of observed levels of YLDs due to leading causes of disability with levels expected on the basis of SDI. Figure 7 displays ratios of observed and expected YLDs for the leading ten causes at level 3 of the GBD hierarchy in 2015, colour coded by the magnitude of differences between observed and expected YLDs.

Globally, lower back and neck pain was the leading cause of disability in 2015. Two mental disorders, major depressive and anxiety disorders, were the third and ninth leading causes of global disability, and diabetes was the sixth leading driver of disability. Iron-deficiency anaemia was the only Group 1 cause among the leading ten causes for global YLDs (ranked fourth). Sensory disorders ranked second and skin diseases ranked fifth. Lower back and neck pain was the leading global cause of disability in 2015 in most countries. The leading cause of disability in 2015 was iron-deficiency anaemia in 27 countries; HIV/AIDS in all six southern sub-Saharan African countries; depression in five eastern sub-Saharan Africa countries; other neglected tropical diseases in Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon; sense organ disorders in Comoros and Myanmar; diabetes in Fiji and Marshall Islands; war in Lebanon and Syria; and onchocerciasis in Liberia.

Regional, country, territory, and selected subnational results

Lower back and neck pain was the leading cause of disability in all high-income countries in 2015. However, ratios of observed to expected YLDs from lower back and neck pain ranged from 0·60 for Singapore to more than 1·59 in Norway. Most high-income countries experienced higher than expected levels of disability due to depressive disorders. The USA and Australia were the only two high-income countries where drug use disorders were a top ten cause of disability, and observed levels of YLDs were much higher than expected. South Korea's ratio of observed-to-expected levels of YLDs due to diabetes exceeded 1·30, whereas Japan's diabetes-related disability was lower than expected on the basis of SDI. In the UK, observed disability due to asthma was well above expected levels.

In 2015, lower back and neck pain was the leading cause of YLDs for all but two countries in Latin America and the Caribbean; Haiti and Venezuela were the exceptions, with iron-deficiency anaemia as the leading causes of disability for both countries. Disability due to diabetes surpassed expected levels by at least a factor of two for six countries and territories: Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Virgin Islands. Peru, however, had a ratio of less than 0·6 for observed and expected YLDs for diabetes.

In 2015, lower back and neck pain was the leading cause of YLDs for 24 out of 28 countries and territories of southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania. Other leading causes of disability were sensory disorders in Myanmar, diabetes in Fiji and the Marshall Islands, and iron-deficiency anaemia in Papua New Guinea. Although lower back and neck pain was the primary cause of disability, many countries had far lower levels of this than expected given their SDI, including Thailand (0·73), Indonesia (0·76), and Malaysia (0·75). Observed YLDs due to depressive disorders were often lower than expected, with 22 countries recording ratios below 0·80. Conversely, numerous geographies recorded YLD ratios exceeding 2·00 for diabetes (eg, 2·29 in Taiwan).

Beyond lower back and neck pain, which was the leading cause of YLDs for three of five countries in south Asia in 2015 (with India and Pakistan being the exception), a mixture of causes accounted for the region's main causes of disability; this heterogeneity probably reflects the diversity of countries in the region and their places along the development spectrum. Iron-deficiency anaemia was the first leading cause and lower back and neck pain was the second leading cause of YLDs in both India and Pakistan, whereas sensory disorders, other musculoskeletal disorders, and iron-deficiency anaemia ranked second for disability in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, respectively. YLDs due to anxiety were lower than expected in all countries in the region except for Bangladesh.

In the GBD super-region of central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia, lower back and neck pain was the leading cause of disability in every geographical region in 2015; Although all countries in eastern and central Europe recorded higher than expected YLD ratios for most of their top ten causes, central Asia mostly had lower than expected or as expected YLD ratios. Sense organ diseases were the second leading causes of disability and depressive disorders were the third leading causes in this super-region.

Sizeable discrepancies occurred for observed and expected YLDs based on SDI throughout north Africa and the Middle East, probably reflecting the uneven achievements in development found in this region. Lower back and neck pain was the primary driver of YLDs in the region. Exceptions to this were Lebanon and Syria, for which war caused the most disability in 2015, and Afghanistan for which iron-deficiency was the leading cause. Depression, sense organ diseases, diabetes ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively, for the region. Observed YLDs due to diabetes consistently exceeded expected levels, with two countries posting ratios higher than 3·00 (ie, Qatar [3·12], and the United Arab Emirates [3·52]). Iran and Morocco recorded much higher disability due to drug use disorders than expected based on SDI.

In comparison with the rest of the world, ranks of cause-specific disability, and their ratios of observed to expected values, were vastly different in sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 46 countries within the super-regions, nine had lower back and neck pain as the leading cause of YLDs in 2015. In southern Sub-Saharan Africa, HIV/AIDS was the leading cause of disability for all countries. Iron-deficiency anaemia ranked as the leading cause of YLDs for 11 countries in western sub-Saharan Africa. For the remaining countries, lower back and neck pain were primarily the leading cause of YLDs; Liberia, the exception, had onchocerciasis as its leading cause of disability. Malaria and various neglected tropical diseases caused more YLDs than expected in most west African countries. For eastern sub-Saharan Africa, sense organ diseases, iron deficiency, depressive disorders, and lower back and neck pain were leading causes of YLDs in 2015. In central sub-Saharan Africa, skin diseases were consistently among the leading three-to-four causes of disability in this region. HIV/AIDS resulted in far more YLDs than expected based on SDI, with Equatorial Guinea, and Central African Republic recording ratios of observed versus expected YLDs higher than 2·00.

Discussion

We used 60 900 data sources to estimate the incidence and prevalence of 2619 sequelae of 310 causes for 591 geographical regions for the years 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. After accounting for variation over time and across regions in case definitions, disease assays, survey instruments, and coding practice, and using standardised modelling approaches to deal with missing data, conflicting data, and a range of sampling and non-sampling errors, we characterised the global and national patterns in non-fatal health outcomes. We found that global age-standardised YLDs per capita decreased slightly in the last 25 years from 0·114 (0·085–0·147) in 1990 to 0·110 (0·082–0·141) per capita in 2015, a total decrease of 3·69% (3·12–4·25%) over a generation (appendix pp 714–16). The ageing of the world's population and the general increase in YLDs per capita with age resulted in an increase in global YLDs per capita. Within this overall pattern, 133 out of 310 causes had statistically significant decreases in YLDs per capita between 2005 and 2015 compared with 82 causes with statistically significant increases in YLDs per capita over the same time period. The most important contributors to global YLDs were musculoskeletal disorders (18·5% [16·4–20·9%] of all YLDs in 2015), mental and substance use disorders (18·4% [15·6–21·2%]), and the category of other NCDs (17·9% [15·0–21·7%]), dominated by hearing loss, vision loss, and skin diseases.

Typology of diseases based on YLDs and YLLs

The comparison of trends in age-standardised YLDs and YLLs provides insight into the drivers of differences in rates of increases and decreases for diseases and injuries. Diseases and injuries can be parsed into four groups. The first of these are a small set of disorders including causes such as drug use disorders and skin cancer for which age-standardised rates of both YLDs and YLLs increased at a rate of more than 0·4% per year from 2005 to 2015. A second category of diseases includes those in which YLDs are increasing but YLLs are decreasing, including disorders such as thyroid cancer, cirrhosis, and neonatal encephalopathy. One explanation for this pattern is that risk factors, broadly defined, are causing an increase in incidence, whereas access to effective treatment has improved enough to continue reducing mortality. For a third category of disorders, YLDs are essentially constant, but YLLs are decreasing. This grouping is quite large and includes many of the major causes of disability such as musculoskeletal disorders, various neurological disorders, and a number of cancers. For many infectious causes, decreased are occurring for both YLLs and YLDs but are much faster for YLLs; this pattern is to be expected if access to effective treatment is decreasing the number of deaths but not reducing prevalence or incidence. The last category includes disorders where decreases are equal, if not slightly higher, for YLDs including ischaemic heart disease, falls, cervical cancer, and other injuries. Examination of differential trends by region or country might provide insights into the role of access to treatment in reducing YLLs and, conversely, the role of increasing or decreasing risks and social determinants in driving changes in disease incidence and prevalence. More detailed exploration of these differential trends is warranted in future work.

Disability and retirement age

As life expectancy has steadily increased in most countries, there have been calls in some high SDI countries to extend retirement ages to reflect these changes in survival.28, 29, 30 A crucial factor in these debates is whether individuals are living for longer and have higher average levels of functional health at each age or not. In this study, we found that age-standardised YLDs per capita decreased, but rather slowly, over the period 2005 to 2015. Comparison of trends in age-standardised YLDs and YLLs by cause shows that the main causes of YLDs are not decreasing and in some settings might be increasing. Other than a somewhat slower rate of improvement for YLDs at oldest age (≥80 years), age discontinuities are not observable in these patterns. Ultimately, the debate on retirement age will hinge on the skill sets required for different types of work, whether work contributes to diminished or improved functional health status, and societal expectations for retirement. Our findings suggest that the burden from mental and substance use disorders, and musculoskeletal disorders, which are frequent causes of early retirement31, 32 in terms of age-specific prevalence, has not declined much over time; the continued prevalence of these and other disorders associated with increasing age might limit the capacities of an older workforce.

Epidemiological transition

The analysis of YLD rates by Level 2 causes as a function of SDI shows a very different picture than that reported for YLLs. At the lower end of the SDI spectrum, incremental increases in SDI are associated with reductions in both age-standardised YLDs and all-age YLD rates spurred by decreases in disability from neglected tropical diseases and anaemia as well as decreases in tuberculosis, diarrhoea, pneumonia, meningitis, and other infectious diseases. At SDI levels above 0·8 (see methods appendix pp 698–711 for SDI values for each country), age-standardised rates of health loss increase slightly, attributable to higher rates of mental and substance use disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and neurological disorders. In this phase of the epidemiological transition, this increase in rates, although small, combined with population ageing, results in increases in YLDs per 100 000. The rising average YLD per capita rates have implications for health systems; a larger fraction of the population is likely to need care for many disorders. Some of these disorders are currently costly to manage.33 The increase in health-care costs per individual in the population that occurs once an SDI of 0·8 is exceeded is a predictable component of the epidemiological transition; these costs should be anticipated during the health planning processes of countries in that stage of the transition.

Disease-specific issues

Musculoskeletal disorders

Musculoskeletal disorders continue to be a leading cause of disability worldwide and more so when taking into account that additional musculoskeletal burden from long-term sequelae of fractures and dislocations is classified under injuries in GBD. A key component of healthy ageing is to maintain mobility, and a key public health intervention recommended for improving health outcomes for all chronic diseases is physical activity. Painful musculoskeletal disorders increase with age and are a great threat to mobility, compromising health more broadly.34, 35, 36 Even if cures for musculoskeletal disorders are not yet available, the clinical goal of preventing disability is attainable.37, 38

Mental and substance use disorders

Consistent with the findings of earlier GBD studies, GBD 2015 confirms the large contribution of mental and substance use disorders to global disability. For the first time, in GBD 2015 we found a positive association between conflict and depression and anxiety, albeit with wide uncertainty. This uncertainty is due to sparse and low-quality data for these disorders in post-conflict countries. Going forward, we plan to make separate estimates for post-traumatic stress disorder in GBD, which might add considerably more data from conflict settings and show a stronger association. GBD results have provided an evidence base to support global action such as a stated commitment by the World Bank and WHO to make mental health a global development priority39 and the consideration of mental health and substance use disorders in shaping the Sustainable Development Goals.40 Cost-effective interventions are able to reduce the burden imposed by mental and substance use disorders, including in low-income and middle-income countries.41

Increases in deaths attributable to drug use in the USA have resulted in considerable policy and media attention. In our assessment, the ten countries with the highest prevalence of opioid dependence in decreasing order in 2015 were Iran, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Morocco, the USA, Australia, Ukraine, Tunisia, Belarus, Canada, and Iraq. Among these countries, we estimated the highest excess mortality from opioid dependence in the eastern European countries at about twice the level of that in the USA, Canada, and the north African and Middle Eastern countries; the lowest rate among these highly prevalent countries was in Australia. Within the USA, prescription opioids have been estimated to account for 37% of drug overdose deaths in 2013.42, 43 The availability of overdose response treatments in the form of naloxone kits to laypersons has also accelerated.44 An alternative approach is opioid substitution treatment to reduce the risk of overdose. The intensity at which countries use harm-reduction strategies such as needle exchange and opioid substitution programmes follows an inverse pattern,45 with the most intense programmes in Australia, but very rare use of such strategies in eastern Europe, suggesting that embracing harm reduction is an effective means of reducing drug deaths.

Diabetes

To obtain standard estimates for health loss due to diabetes for GBD 2015 using both fasting plasma glucose (FPG) means and standard deviations as well as diabetes prevalence, we re-extracted all available data from 1990 to 2015. Across studies, we found 20 different case definitions for diabetes. We also included, wherever possible, studies reporting on mean FPG but not diabetes prevalence, using a regression between mean FPG and diabetes prevalence from studies reporting on both. We have also made the assessment of diabetes prevalence more consistent with cause of death data for diabetes. Our improved efforts at measuring the prevalence of diabetes confirms the increase in global age-standardised incidence, prevalence, and YLDs. Of note, the increase in YLDs at the global scale is greater than the increase in YLLs, which reflects improved access to treatments that lower case fatality. The rise of diabetes prevalence, related to the global increase in body-mass index,46 given the costs of treating the disease47 and the related increases in cardiovascular risks, poses one of the more important challenges to health systems in the coming years. This is particularly the case in regions with high prevalence of diabetes such as central America, north Africa and the Middle East, and Oceania.

Ezzati and colleagues48 and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF)49 have estimated diabetes prevalence for many countries; the intra-class correlation coefficient for the estimates from Ezzati and colleagues and the GBD for 2015 is 0·74, and for the IDF estimates is 0·65. These large differences appear to stem from the inclusion of cause of death data in the modelling for GBD and also from the inclusion of self-reported diabetes prevalence in the study by Ezzati and colleagues.48 In GBD, these sources were excluded from our analyses because of changing patterns in the prevalence of known and unknown diabetes in surveys that vary with geography, making it difficult to crosswalk these studies.

Dementia

Brayne and colleagues50, 51 reported that age-specific prevalence of Alzheimer's was decreasing in the UK. Of the four studies in the USA with similar measurements over time that were reviewed, one showed a decrease, whereas no change in prevalence was seen in the remaining studies.52, 53 Our assessment of age-standardised prevalence showed that Alzheimer's and other dementias decreased slowly in the UK, by 3·69% (2·53–4·85%) from 2005 to 2015, but remained constant in the rest of the world. The decrease might be due to reductions in vascular dementias rather than reductions in Alzheimer's and other dementias. Our assessment also suggests that the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease increased from 21·7 million (18·9–24·8 million) worldwide in 1990 to 46·0 million (40·2–52·7 million) in 2015. Although it is useful to know that age-standardised rates might be starting to decrease, if only slightly, the rapid increase in the absolute number of cases points to the major challenge that dementia presents to societies with increasing life expectancy. This number is similar to the most recent estimates from the World Alzheimer Report 2015 that estimated 46·8 million people living with dementia in 2015. However, there is less agreement about new cases per year: The World Alzheimer Report estimated 9·9 million new cases of dementia per year in 2015 compared with 6·44 million (5·52–7·45 million) new cases in 2015 estimated in GBD 2015. The World Alzheimer Report separately analysed prevalence and incidence whereas we use DisMod-MR 2.1 to produce internally consistent prevalence and incidence estimates. We observed a fundamental disagreement in the underlying incidence and prevalence data in many countries and decided to exclude incidence data from our modelling approach, putting greater trust in prevalence studies than incidence studies, arguing that the point of incidence in dementia is more difficult to establish than prevalence when the diagnosis over time becomes more established.

Hepatitis C

The availability of new medical treatments for chronic hepatitis C has driven considerable interest in the prevalence data for this disease. Available treatments are highly effective but costly.54 Some programmes have been launched in Egypt and other lower-SDI countries that offer treatment at lower cost. Good data on the number of courses of treatment that have been delivered are not widely available. Given the number of individuals with chronic infection and the potential to be cured, tracking the fraction of people treated each year should be undertaken. Even in high-income countries such as the USA, the fraction of those treated among those who would benefit from treatment is not yet available.

Malaria

Our assessment of malaria prevalence and incidence in high burden sub-Saharan Africa was based on the Malaria Atlas Project spatial analysis of prevalence surveys done across Africa between 2000 and 2015.55, 56 The dynamic map of malaria prevalence was updated for GBD 2015 and extended back to 1980. Children younger than 5 years in sub-Saharan Africa showed a remarkable 33·5% (24·8–46·0%) decrease in incidence from the 2005 peak of 0·78 (0·56–0·96) cases per person per year to 0·52 (0·33–0·71) in 2015. Yet there were 81·7 million (52·0–111·7 million) incident cases in this age group in 2015. The decrease in children was more rapid than that recorded for older age groups. In adolescents and adults, incidence dropped by 30·0% (17·2–39·2%) and 21·1% (15·3–26·9%), respectively, and resulted in 58·7 million (37·7–91·5 million) and 53·3 million (40·7–67·5 million) incident cases, respectively, in 2015. The observed decreases in malaria incidence underscore the remarkable effect of the scale-up of antimalarial interventions57 across Africa in the past decade.55 Sustaining the levels of these interventions is crucial to continue to reduce malaria morbidity on the continent, avoid resurgence, and improve on these levels that are vital to global aspirations for malaria eradication.58 Overall, we estimate there were 286·9 million (219·7–377·3 million) cases of malaria worldwide in 2015, whereas the World Malaria Report (WMR) 2015 reports 214 million (149–303 million) cases in 2015.59 Of these cases, the WMR estimates that 88% of cases occurred in the WHO African region (188 million) whereas we estimate 189·4 million (151·7–239·4 million; 66·1%) cases for GBD 2015. Outside of Africa, the WMR reports 26 million cases versus our estimate of 97·3 million (50·2–181·8 million), but both sets of estimates feature identical regional rankings among the six WHO regions with malaria. Increasing convergence in estimates is expected as dynamic maps of malaria prevalence and incidence become available for all malaria-endemic countries outside of Africa.

Tuberculosis

We added new data from tuberculosis prevalence surveys done in Indonesia, Ghana, and several subnational locations in India. Our analysis of tuberculosis relied on prevalence surveys, case notifications and cause-specific mortality estimates. We used the expert judgment values for the case-detection rates (CDRs) from WHO as an initial guide of how much notifications need to be increased to reflect incidence of all tuberculosis, but relied on DisMod-MR 2.1 to find an estimate that is consistent with available prevalence and cause-specific mortality rates. We found that, particularly in older age groups, our estimated CDR often falls below the all-age CDR of WHO. In GBD 2013, we used a relative risk approach to predict the proportion of HIV-infected individuals with tuberculosis. In GBD 2015, we improved our modelling strategy by making use of more abundantly available data on the proportions of HIV infected cases among all tuberculosis cases from the WHO case notifications to separate out combined HIV and tuberculosis from all forms of tuberculosis. In our modelling of tuberculosis, we have not separately estimated the incidence and prevalence related to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Given the policy interest in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, we plan to include estimates for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in future rounds of the GBD. Our global tuberculosis (all-forms) incidence estimate (10·2 million [9·2–11·5 million] cases in 2015) is slightly higher than that of WHO (9·6 million cases in 2014), and we estimate a slightly larger fraction of combined HIV and tuberculosis (13·0%) than WHO (12·0%). Our list of countries with high burden of tuberculosis is consistent with that of WHO, with a few exceptions. Afghanistan and Cambodia are lower in our estimates, and surpassed by Ukraine and Angola.

Cardiovascular diseases

Ageing and population growth have led to a growing number of people living with atherosclerotic vascular disease worldwide, despite the decrease in incident myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke in high-income regions. Rising levels of obesity and diabetes in many countries makes this an area of major concern for global health. Increased attention will need to be directed toward this highly treatable set of disorders. Health systems will need to improve the delivery of cost-effective treatments such as blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering drugs while efforts continue to focus on decreasing tobacco smoking, improving diet, and increasing physical activity. Investments in universal primary care and public health campaigns need to be balanced against the need to improve access to emergency care, including the strengthening of pre-hospital systems and expanded access to revascularisation treatments.

Cancer

The International Agency for Research on Cancer last produced cancer estimates by country, age, sex, and cancer site for 2012 for the GLOBOCAN project.60 The total estimated cancer incidence from GLOBOCAN for 2012 was 14·1 million individuals. By comparison, GBD 2015 estimated 18·6 million (18·0–19·4 million) new cases of cancer in 2015, which includes cases of non-melanoma skin cancer. GLOBOCAN used nine different methods to estimate incidence, which precludes the calculation of uncertainty for those estimates. The GBD relies on the strength of the mortality estimates and transformation of the mortality estimates to incidence, taking into account uncertainty associated with both the mortality estimates and with the mortality to incidence ratios. Until high-quality cancer incidence is available in all countries, the GBD approach, which maximises the amount of data used to determine incidence estimates, is highly beneficial.

Vision loss

Globally, 34·3 million (30·7–38·0 million) people are blind, an additional 24·3 million (21·6–27·6 million) have severe vision impairment, 214 million (193–237 million) have moderate vision impairment, and 663 million (638–690 million) have near vision impairment in 2015. Combined, vision loss accounts for 24·5 million (17·0–34·5 million) YLDs and is the third largest impairment after anaemia (77·9 million [52·4–111·4 million] YLDs) and hearing loss (46·2 million [31·6–63·2 million] YLDs). YLDs from vision loss are slightly lower than those for anxiety disorders, which rank ninth worldwide. Largely due to ageing, substantial increases occurred from 2005 to 2015 in the number of people with blindness (increasing by 23·3% [21·9–24·6%]), severe visual impairment (24·3% [22·4–26·0%]), moderate visual impairment (22·0% [20·1–23·7%]), and near vision impairment (22·5% [20·9–24·0%]). Most causes of vision loss can be prevented or cured using cost-effective interventions.61, 62

Chronic kidney disease

Compared with our GBD 2013 estimates, we estimated global prevalence of chronic kidney disease to be lower by a third. Data for chronic kidney disease at younger ages are sparse. We increased the number of datapoints below the age of 30 years from 20 to 51, and that led to considerably lower prevalence estimates for these ages. We have used different strategies for estimating deaths versus YLDs secondary to chronic kidney disease due to other causes. In our cause of death analysis, deaths secondary to many of the causes typically categorised within the chronic kidney disease other category, such as cystic disease and other congenital renal diseases, were already counted under the primary disease following the principles of the ICD, and thus could not be recounted within the chronic kidney disease other category. In comparison, for the YLD analysis we counted chronic kidney disease from these causes in the chronic kidney disease other category. This difference in the classification of morbidity and mortality from chronic kidney disease other is driven by the underlying nature of the data on causes of death and prevalence. In future GBD versions, we plan to make explicit estimates of death and YLDs for polycystic kidney disease, an important component of the other category.

Emerging infectious diseases

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose a persistent yet dynamic challenge to global health63 and to the GBD study. GBD 2015 has included Ebola virus disease in response to the devastating outbreak in west Africa starting in 2013,64 whereas we have not captured the recent expansions of chikungunya65 and Zika virus across the Americas,66 for instance. Quantifying the effect of newly emerging epidemic diseases is difficult because the formal reporting of the disease events might considerably lag the first presentation of cases. As a result, contemporary events such as the substantial deviation from baseline levels in reported congenital abnormalities in Brazil in 2015,67 now established to be associated with Zika virus,68 will need to be incorporated into GBD 2016.

Advances in data and analysis

DisMod-MR

For GBD 2015, we improved the estimation for subnational units in DisMod-MR 2.1 compared to GBD 2013 and made substantive efforts to standardise the modelling approach across diseases. Three changes had an important effect on our estimates. First, the cascade was implemented such that national estimates were used to inform subnational estimation (in GBD 2013, each subnational unit was treated as a country within a GBD region). Second, wherever possible, we improved the linkage in the estimation between cause-specific mortality and disease incidence and prevalence by the systematic inclusion of estimated excess mortality data to provide more informative priors for each location in the geographical hierarchy. Third, in GBD 2010, and to a lesser degree in GBD 2013, many DisMod-MR models did not include fixed effects of country covariates for incidence or prevalence. Spatial heterogeneity was largely estimated from the random effects. For GBD 2015, we systematically tested the inclusion of more fixed effects in DisMod-MR 2.1 models including, where appropriate, variables related to the risk factor exposures we estimate for each disease.

Disability weights

For GBD 2015, we have not incorporated any new population-based data on disability weights; we have used the same disability weights as for GBD 2013. The present set of disability weights were based on population surveys in nine countries and an open internet survey. So far, these studies have not found systematic variation in disability weights across populations or within populations as a function of education, income per capita, or other variables. In future, we hope that more population surveys on disability weights will continue to be done to enrich the database for disability weight estimation. Given that we have not been able to collect disability weights in every location included in the GBD, it is possible that disability weights might vary systematically across communities. Even if this were to be confirmed empirically, for global standardised comparisons we would still use the global average disability weights; however, country analyses might use local disability weights. Until there is evidence of systematic variation across communities, this remains a theoretical and not a practical consideration. Given the close correlation between the internet survey and the population-based surveys, we are considering the implementation of an open rolling internet survey to collect more data for disability weights including new or revised health-state descriptions.

GATHER compliance

Providing all documentation for data sources, establishing access to the datasets used in modelling, and posting the code has been a labour-intensive activity; GBD 2015 is compliant with the new GATHER guidelines as a result.17 Posting code, we believe, will stimulate other researchers to explore the methods used in GBD estimation of non-fatal outcomes and hopefully lead to suggestions for improved estimation. With a steadily growing set of co-investigators and a widening community interested in global health estimation, the enhanced transparency of GBD will improve the efficacy of the overall effort.

Using claims data

For the USA we used claims data for selected disorders. These data were particularly useful in the estimation of state-by-state prevalence for some disorders. Claims data, however, have important potential biases. Because of exclusion of some disadvantaged groups from health insurance, disease rates might be different for individuals that are covered compared with those from the general population.69, 70 As the claims dataset included information from Medicaid and Medicare, the coverage schemes for low-income citizens and older adults (older than 65 years) in the USA, the bias toward underestimation might not be so great. Indeed, we found that for many diseases, such as asthma, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis, the claims data were consistent with high-quality survey estimates. A potential problem of overestimation exists because visits to rule out a diagnosis can be coded to the diagnosis. Others working with claims have counted diagnoses only if they had appeared at least twice during a year. Applying such a restriction would have led to rejection of 44–68% of skin disorders, such as acne, psoriasis, or scabies, where one would expect that even after a single visit a diagnosis can be reliably made. As we tend to adjust the claims data used in DisMod-MR 2.1 if a systematic bias is detected from population-based sources, such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey or other quality surveys, we believe our estimates have not been influenced much by this problem. The potential for greater inclusion of claims data in the GBD analysis is large; in countries with universal health access, claims data might overcome the problems of non-responder bias in survey data, which tend to lead to underestimates of the true population prevalence or incidence.

Self-reported functional health status

We found only modest progress in high-SDI countries in reducing age-standardised YLDs per capita over the last 25 years. There are, however, reports in the literature of substantial improvements based on self-rated health.71, 72 In the USA, these improvements seem to be survey programme-specific and have not been reported in all data systems.71 Nevertheless, more work is needed to understand the different trends between our assessment of YLDs per capita and self-rated health. Item response theory has been used in some fields to identify changing response patterns for single items compared with the pool of all items.73 Item response theory cannot capture systematic changes that affect a set of items, and anchoring vignettes have been proposed as a strategy to deal with these challenges.72, 74 In the era of increased interest in measuring functional health status, more exploration of the reasons for the divergence from a sequelae-based approach to measuring functional health status used in GBD versus an overall self-rating will be an important avenue of future research.

Crosswalks

Because of the diversity of data sources available, we estimated the statistical association between measurements taken using different case definitions, different assays, different survey items, or different ascertainment methods to a reference category. We used these statistical associations to crosswalk each type of data to the reference category. Crosswalks are a crucial dimension in the GBD analysis; in most cases we estimate these crosswalks from within DisMod-MR 2.1. If crosswalks were believed to vary substantially by age, sex, or location, these crosswalks were estimated outside of DisMod-MR 2.1 and adjusted data were used as inputs. Where data are sparse, the estimated crosswalks can shift substantially when new studies are identified that inform the crosswalk. With each iteration of the GBD, we have recognised the crucial nature of the crosswalk analysis for data processing. We believe that more research is needed in future iterations of GBD to standardise the approaches used for estimating crosswalks across disorders and risk factors, and for propagating uncertainty in crosswalks into the final results.

Data gaps

We have described the availability of data by cause and geography over different time periods, highlighting very large gaps in information availability. The data availability by country ranged from 6·1% in North Korea to 91·3% in the USA (methods appendix p 606). Among the top five causes of YLDs, data availability was rather poor. Lower back pain, iron-deficiency anaemia, major depressive disorder, other hearing loss, and neck pain all have data representativeness indices below 50%. Because of the broad overview provided of major data sources for disease incidence and prevalence, GBD provides a framework to assist countries in prioritising the collection of new data to inform better monitoring of functional health status. By setting clear reference case definitions and data collection methods (methods appendix pp 4–7), GBD can also provide guidance on how to collect information most relevant to population health measurement.

Future directions for GBD

With each cycle of the GBD we expect, given the present interest in subnational assessments, to report increasingly granular results. These subnational findings will be of important national policy interest, but the discipline of examining the evidence for each community and modelling at the more granular level will, we believe, improve the quality of the national estimation as well. Additions to the cause list will continue to be driven by policy interest, such as the need to incorporate Zika virus, to split diabetes into separate estimates for type 1 and type 2, and by adding diseases to our cause list that are main contributors to large residual categories, such as other cardiovascular disease, other musculoskeletal disorders, and other neurological disorders. We plan to continue to expand our networks of topic-specific and country collaborators to enhance the quality of our estimates through their feedback and by enhancing the amount of data we can bring to bear on GBD estimation. Our country collaborations to generate subnational estimates have shown us that these efforts greatly enhance access to valuable data sources, particularly administrative datasets on inpatient and outpatient episodes and unpublished surveys.

Limitations

The GBD 2015 study has some key limitations. First, although we have sought to capture and include in our estimations many sources of uncertainty, we have not captured all sources. We have not been able to routinely capture uncertainty due to different model specifications in our results. We do not have the ability to reflect the uncertainty of data sources that exist but of which we are not aware. Subnational collaborations in China and Mexico revealed many data sources not captured in previous iterations of the GBD study. Inclusion of these data sources can lead to shifts in estimates that are outside the previously estimated 95% UIs.

Second, within DisMod-MR 2.1 we estimate the average association between different types of studies for reporting on a specific outcome such as the difference between 12-month recall and point prevalence in a survey. These estimated associations from within the DisMod-MR 2.1 likelihood estimation are used to adjust the data to a reference case definition or study design. These estimated adjustment factors are themselves uncertain, which increases the overall uncertainty in our estimation. More standardisation in data collection would be highly desirable and would reduce our dependence on the relatively challenging estimation process involved in crosswalks.

Third, for some disorders the data available to estimate excess mortality by age and sex and to capture how excess mortality changes with development status are very limited. There are probably many unpublished sources of information in some countries that could be usefully brought to bear on the challenge of estimating the age–sex–year–location levels of excess mortality.

Fourth, the microsimulation step of this study assumes that prevalence within an age–sex–location–year group of different sequelae is independent. Although this is clearly known not to be the case for some pairs of disorders, the independence assumption provides reasonable overall adjustments for comorbidity. Progress in incorporating dependent comorbidity has been difficult because information on the correlation structure of prevalence is extremely limited and only available for a minor fraction of all possible pairs of conditions in the GBD study.

Fifth, we estimated separate DisMod-MR 2.1 models for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Independent estimation of each time period implies that the uncertainty intervals for each period are also independent. Furthermore, compositional bias in the data available in different time periods might lead to spurious time trends. A more appealing strategy would be to simultaneously estimate the trends in incidence, excess mortality, and remission by age and sex consistent with all the available data for a geography on prevalence, incidence, remission, excess mortality, and cause-specific mortality by age and sex. DisMod-MR 2.1 does not allow for time-varying trends in incidence, excess mortality, and remission, but a prototype DisMod-MR AT (age and time) has been developed and is being tested. Allowing for all rates to change at different paces over age and time increases the number of parameters that need to be estimated by orders of magnitude.

Sixth, we have emphasised in the reporting of results the changes from calendar year 2005 to calendar year 2015, although we have estimated results for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 and interpolated for the years in between. For some disorders, reporting the change from 2005 to 2015 (such as for Ebola virus disease) does not capture the major epidemic in west Africa in 2014. Likewise, disasters and wars are often concentrated in a single year; comparisons of any two years can provide misleading inferences about trends.

Seventh, for a few disorders (eg, tetanus, neonatal sepsis, rabies, and diphtheria) we estimate disease incidence from estimates of mortality and the inverse of the case-fatality rate estimated from available studies. When the case-fatality rate is very low, these estimates of incidence are highly sensitive to very small changes in the estimated case-fatality rate and have large uncertainty intervals.

Finally, although extraordinary efforts have gone into vetting the results by GBD researchers and the collaborator network, there are probably some findings that have not been scrutinised carefully enough. Making all results and underlying data available and having an increasing number of visualisation tools are effective strategies that we will keep expanding to meet our goal of producing the highest quality global health data to our growing audience of policy makers, researchers, the media, and the general population.

Conclusion

The GBD studies seek to quantify the prevalence and incidence of the major sequelae for a comprehensive list of diseases and injuries; given the diversity of data sources, the range of biases in these sources, and the gaps in availability, this is a challenging task. Despite the limitations, the standardised and comprehensive approach of the GBD studies study provides useful insights. We believe users of the findings, including the wealth of country-specific and cause-specific detail available in the appendix, can usefully examine the broad trends for their country or subnational geography, benchmark against geographies at a similar level of development, and understand the strength or weakness of these estimates. Regular quantification of health is particularly important as the new health-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals have broadened the health agenda throughout the world. At the same time, development and transformations in the risks to health experienced by different groups in the world are leading to some broad transformations in health. Everyone needs to have access to the timeliest, valid, reliable, and local information possible to enrich debates on how to accelerate health progress in all communities.
