ResumoThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) enterprise is a systematic, scientific effort to quantify the comparative magnitude of health loss due to diseases, injuries, and risk factors by age, sex, and geography for specific points in time. The GBD construct of the burden of disease is health loss, not income or productivity loss.1 For decision makers, health-sector leaders, researchers, and informed citizens, the GBD approach provides an opportunity to see the big picture, to compare diseases, injuries, and risk factors, and to understand in a given place, time, and age-sex group what are the most important contributors to health loss.
