The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) is the largest ever systematic effort to illustrate both the distribution and cause of diseases and other health risks.

The most recent study indicate that more people are suffering from non-communicable diseases, and while people are living longer, they spend more years living with injury and illness.

This result is of particular interest, as we have seen innovators and practitioners enable people to live lives of vitality in part due to proper nourishment, mitigating some of the negative consequences of injuries and illness.
