The Lancet | Research | Mortality, morbidity, and risk factors in China and its provinces, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Chronic conditions, such as stroke, ischemic heart disease & lung cancer – not infectious diseases – are now top 5 causes of early death in China: finding from a new #GBDStudy of mortality, morbidity & risk factors in #China & its provinces, 1990–2017 by @Institute for health. This is the first comprehensive subnational assessment of health to include data on mortality, morbidity, combined health loss, and risks in China. Major improvements have been made to the GBD methods since the 2013 subnational analysis of population health in China. These include additional causes of death and disability, greater disaggregation of age groups, substantially expanded data sources, the development of data quality ratings, improvements to estimation models, the development of the Socio-demographic Index, consideration of summary exposure values for risk factors, and a fully updated time series of estimates, among other improvements.
