Global Health Progress Shattered: COVID-19 Alters Leading Causes of Death

A recent study published in The Lancet analyzed the global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition, revealing that COVID-19 has disrupted decades of global health progress, leading to a decrease in life expectancy. The study found that COVID-19 was the second leading cause of age-standardized death in 2021, significantly impacting global life expectancy. The findings suggest that leveraging past successes in mortality reduction could help improve life expectancy outcomes.

Global Neurological Disorders: A Growing Crisis

A new study from the World Health Organization and others estimates that nearly half of the global population is living with neurological conditions, making them the leading cause of disability and illness worldwide. The study found that about 3.4 billion people are affected by conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, and more, with the burden disproportionately felt in low- to middle-income countries. While the rate of people living with or dying from neurological conditions has decreased since 1990, the absolute number of lost healthy years has increased, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and preventative measures to address this growing public health challenge.

"Neurological Conditions: The Leading Global Health Crisis"

A new study from the World Health Organization and others estimates that nearly half of the global population is living with neurological conditions, making them the leading cause of disability and illness worldwide. The study found that about 3.4 billion people are affected by conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, and more. While the rate of people living with or dying from neurological conditions has decreased, the absolute number of lost healthy years has increased, with the burden disproportionately affecting low- to middle-income countries. Urgent action is needed to scale up interventions and improve access to quality care, treatment, and rehabilitation for those living with neurological conditions.
