GBD Compare Data Interactive

2019

This data interactive, presented by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), allows users to explore trends and patterns in the data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017) released in November 2018. Using color treemaps, world maps, arrow diagrams, plots, and other charts, each of the visualizations is fully customizable to give users the ability to refine or expand their selection of data across a variety of causes, risk factors, geographic locations, and other specifics of the GBD 2017 data.

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies form the largest-ever systematic effort to describe the distribution and causes of a wide array of major diseases, injuries, and health risk factors by examining national and sub-national data across populations worldwide from 1990 to the present. Led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, it is a global effort, with more than 2,300 researchers from 130 countries, including numerous low- and middle-income countries, participating in the most recent update. Estimates from the GBD study may differ from national statistics due to differences in data sources and methodology.
