Disparities in disease burden between males and females
Males and females have unique health concerns that grow over time. Females show higher rates of health loss from conditions including depressive disorders, anxiety, Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Males show higher rates of health loss from cardiovascular, respiratory, and liver diseases. The latest Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) looks at trends across regions and age groups and highlights the need for specific strategies to address these challenges. We discuss the data with study authors IHME Researcher Gabriela Fernanda Gil and Dr. Vedavati Patwardhan of the University of California, San Diego.
An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health.
