Projection of the year 2050 burden of diabetes in the US adult population: dynamic modeling of incidence, mortality, and prediabetes prevalence

James P. Boyle, Theodore J. Thompson, Edward W. Gregg et al. · 22 Oct 2010

BACKGROUND: People with diabetes can suffer from diverse complications that seriously erode quality of life. Diabetes, costing the United States more than $174 billion per year in 2007, is expected to take an increasingly large financial toll in subsequent years. Accurate projections of diabetes burden are essential to policymakers planning for future health care needs…

National, regional, and global trends in adult overweight and obesity prevalences

Gretchen A Stevens, Gitanjali M Singh, Yuan Lu et al. · 20 Nov 2012

BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity prevalence are commonly used for public and policy communication of the extent of the obesity epidemic, yet comparable estimates of trends in overweight and obesity prevalence by country are not available. METHODS: We estimated trends between 1980 and 2008 in overweight and obesity prevalence and their uncertainty for adults 20 years…

Comparative quantification of health risks: Conceptual framework and methodological issues

Christopher J L Murray, Majid Ezzati, Alan D López et al. · 14 Apr 2003

Reliable and comparable analysis of risks to health is key for preventing disease and injury. Causal attribution of morbidity and mortality to risk factors has traditionally been conducted in the context of methodological traditions of individual risk factors, often in a limited number of settings, restricting comparability.In this paper, we discuss the conceptual and methodological…

Modeling causes of death: an integrated approach using CODEm

Kyle J Foreman, Rafael Lozano, Alan D López et al. · 6 Jan 2012

BACKGROUND: Data on causes of death by age and sex are a critical input into health decision-making. Priority setting in public health should be informed not only by the current magnitude of health problems but by trends in them. However, cause of death data are often not available or are subject to substantial problems of…

The share of ultra-processed foods and the overall nutritional quality of diets in the US: evidence from a nationally representative cross-sectional study

Eurídice Martínez Steele, Barry M. Popkin, Boyd Swinburn et al. · 13 Feb 2017

BACKGROUND: Recent population dietary studies indicate that diets rich in ultra-processed foods, increasingly frequent worldwide, are grossly nutritionally unbalanced, suggesting that the dietary contribution of these foods largely determines the overall nutritional quality of contemporaneous diets. Yet, these studies have focused on individual nutrients (one at a time) rather than the overall nutritional quality of…
