The Global Burden of Disease project involves more than 1,000 researchers in over 100 countries, and pulls together data on premature death and disability from more than 300 diseases and injuries in 188 countries, by age and sex, from 1990 to the present. This enables us to make meaningful comparisons between countries over time, and rank the diseases and risk factors in terms of their overall burden on a population.
