In the world, improve the health of the population and life expectancy increases, but progress is far from universal with chronic illnesses, bringing the disease to long term and making seven of the 10 dead, according to a study published Thursday.

Global Burden of Disease, which shows the main drivers of the disease, disability and death in different countries, it found that, by 2015, the world population had won more than 10 years since 1980 life expectancy – amounting to 69.0 years for men and 74.8 years for women.
Among the major contributors to this were large declines in the rates of death for many communicable or infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and diarrhea. The rate of people who die from cancers and cardiovascular disease also decreased, the study revealed, but at a slower pace.
The study analyzed 249 causes of death, 315 diseases and injuries and 79 of the risk factors in 195 countries and territories between 1990 and 2015.
Christopher Murray, Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study, said its results brushed a table in uneven health worldwide, encouraged in part by the economic development.
“Development leads, but does not determine health,” he said in a statement that results have been published in the medical journal The Lancet.
“We see countries that have improved much faster than can be explained by income, education or fertility. “.” And we also continue to see countries – including the United States, which are much less healthy they should receive their resources. “
So that the life expectancy, the study found life expectancy in good health – the number of years people can expect to live in good health.
He found that while healthy life expectancy progressed in 191 of 195 countries – by 6.1 years–between 1990 and 2015, he did not return as much as life expectancy, meaning people live for many years with the illness and disability.
Among the richest regions of the world, North America had more healthy expectancy at birth for men and women.
Diabetes, which is often linked to overweight or obese and troubled people on drugs – including opiates and cocaine – cause a disproportionate amount of disease and premature death in the United States, according to the study.
His other results were overall key:
* Seven of the 10 deaths are now due to noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes
* Headaches, tooth cavities, and hearing and vision loss each affects more than 1 in 10 people in the world
* There has been progress in the reduction of non-drinking water and sanitation , but food, obesity and drug use are a growing threat
* More than 275,000 women died during pregnancy or childbirth by 2015, most of preventable causes
* And less than 5 deaths fell by half since 1990, but there has been slow progress on reducing newborn deaths.
