✨🆕 IHME researchers published today in @sciencedirect – "Estimating the population at high risk for tuberculosis through household exposure in high-incidence countries: a model-based analysis" using #TB data from the 2019 #GBDstudy. #tuberculosis sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The researchers estimate that in 20 high-incidence countries, 38 million individuals live in a household with someone with pulmonary #tuberculosis — with children under 5 making up 12% of populations with home exposure.
➡️Findings include: #Zimbabwe, #Mozambique, #Zambia, and #Pakistan have the highest proportion of the population with household exposure.
In 2019, the no. of smokers worldwide ⬆️ to 1.1 billion. Tobacco smoking caused ~8 million deaths—1 in 5 male deaths.
#GBD studies of 204 countries highlight the enormous health toll of 🚬 and authors urge all countries to do more to ⬇️ tobacco use. See hubs.ly/H0Pd0590.

89% of smokers began by age 25—evidence suggests an individual is unlikely to become a smoker if they do not start by this age.
Yet over half of countries show no progress in reducing 🚬 among 15-24-year-olds—a critical window to prevent initiation. Read hubs.li/H0Pd09f0.

Why have 🚬 control policies had little impact on young people? They may respond to policies in different ways to adults, writes @aekunst in @TheLancetPH. The solution? Centralising young people's perspectives and experiences. Read hubs.li/H0Pd0YM0.
📣✨ 3 global studies on #smoking published today in @TheLancet & @TheLancetPH using data from 3,625 surveys #GBDstudy.
🚬 Latest data finds nearly 8 million deaths from smoking in 2019 & 90% of new smokers addicted by age 25.

🚭📊 The global numbers as of 2019:
▪️ Number of smokers increased to 1.1 billion
▪️ Caused 7.7 million deaths
▪️ Over 1/2 of countries showed no progress in reducing smoking among 15-24 year olds
▪️ 1 in 3 current tobacco smokers live in China
▪️ Number of smokers increased to 1.1 billion
▪️ Caused 7.7 million deaths
▪️ Over 1/2 of countries showed no progress in reducing smoking among 15-24 year olds
▪️ 1 in 3 current tobacco smokers live in China
Since 1990, global smoking prevalence among men decreased ⬇️ by 27% and by 37% among women. However, 20 countries saw significant increases in prevalence among men and 12 saw significant increases among women.
This morning, we're releasing a major change in our COVID-19 model (➡️covid19.healthdata.org). We're now incorporating excess mortality to approximate the total COVID-19 death rate worldwide.
Our understanding of the magnitude of COVID-19 to date has been much worse than what we have been thinking. 🗓️ We are also extending our COVID-19 projections out to September 1, 2021 (they previously went out to August 1, 2021).
With this total COVID-19 mortality adjustment, these are the countries that we estimate currently have the highest total COVID-19 deaths .vs. reported COVID-19 deaths:

Population of sub-Saharan Africa is forecast to triple by 2100. North Africa & Middle East is the only other region predicted to see population growth. Many of the fastest-shrinking populations will be in Asia & central & eastern Europe hubs.ly/H0stJKb0 #GBDStudy

NEW #GBDStudy: Scale-up of spending on #HIV/AIDS, #tuberculosis & #malaria, compared with improvements in health outcomes, suggests a nuanced relationship, & that such that increases in spending do not always results in improvements in outcomes

#GBDStudy Spotlight on #HIV/#AIDS: For all but one of 135 countries, HIV/AIDS spending per capita has increased since 2000; however, 73 countries had reductions in HIV/AIDS incidence, while 62 had increases in incidence hubs.ly/H0pRGr70 (1/3)
#GBDStudy Spotlight on #Malaria: Malaria had most consistent decreases in outcomes across countries as spending has increased, with all but 3 of the remaining malaria endemic low-income & middle-income countries seeing reductions in malaria incidence hubs.ly/H0pRGr70 (2/3)
