Respiratory diseases are STILL among the leading causes of death worldwide.
Lung infections (mostly pneumonia and tuberculosis), lung
cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) together
accounted for 9.5 million deaths worldwide during 2008, one-sixth of the
global total. The World Health Organization estimates that the same
four diseases accounted for one-tenth of the disability-adjusted
life-years (DALYs) lost worldwide in 2008.
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study recently compared the
contribution of major diseases to deaths and disability worldwide for
1990 and 2010. Among the leading causes of death, lower respiratory
infections were ranked 3rd in 1990 and 4th in 2010, whereas COPD was
ranked 4th in 1990 and 3rd in 2010. Lung cancer rose from 8th- to 5th-
commonest cause of death, while tuberculosis fell from 6th to 10th
position in the ranking.
The GBD Study also presented rankings for years lived with
disability, among which asthma ranked 13th worldwide in 1990 and 14th in
2010, while COPD ranked 6th in 1990 and 5th in 2010. When premature
deaths and disability were combined as DALYs lost,
lower respiratory infections were ranked the leading cause worldwide in
1990, and the 2nd most important cause of DALYs lost in 2010. Also
among the 25 most important causes were COPD (ranked 6th in 1990 and 9th
in 2010), tuberculosis (ranked 8th in 1990 and 13th in 2010) and lung
cancer (ranked 24th in 1990 and 22nd in 2010).
