Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors in Child and Adolescent Health, 1990 to 2017

Abstract: Key Points Question How have the levels, trends, and leading causes of child and adolescent mortality and nonfatal health loss changed from 1990 to 2017? Findings This study found that child and adolescent mortality decreased throughout the world from 1990 to 2017, but morbidity has increased as a proportion of total disease burden, because the major causes of nonfatal health loss during childhood and adolescence have not changed dramatically. … Show more

“…Between 1990 and 2017, child and adolescent deaths were reduced from 13.77 million to 6.64 million worldwide. 20 However, a parallel increase in total morbidity was observed with an increase of 4.7% in the total years lived with disability worldwide, owing to the pervasive impact of, for example, congenital anomalies and injuries on child and adolescent health. A recent analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study highlighted that prevalence rates of CHD were stable around the world, but a 34.5% decrease was observed in the total CHD mortality for all ages between 1990 and 2017.…”

“…However, data do exist to demonstrate the high prevalence of self-injurious and suicidal behaviors among adolescents in LMICs-markers of severity. The Global Burden of Disease studies play a valuable role in providing credible indicators for mental disorders by estimating the prevalence and the disease burden of adolescent mental disorders in HICs and LMICs (6,(45)(46)(47). UNICEF's initiative, Measurement of Mental Health among Adolescents at the Population Level (MMAP) seeks to validate instruments in diverse cultural contexts (48).…”

“…An estimated 13%-15% of adolescents (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) year olds) in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) live with a mental disorder (5), and depression and anxiety are among the 10 leading causes of disability for children and adolescents globally (6). In the current context of global urbanization, history's largest population of adolescents is transitioning into adulthood (7,8).…”

“…The leading causes of deaths were due to communicable diseases, teenage pregnancy, neonatal and nutritional causes (52.3 percent), followed by injuries (28.0%), and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) (19.6 percent). [ 10 ] The number of deaths due to injuries and NCDs amongst adolescents is rising whereas deaths due to communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases are declining. The Government of India (GoI) has been continuously striving to improve the services delivered to this target age group by initiating many target-oriented schemes.…”
