The Global Burden of Disease Study reveals an uptick in global life expectancy by 2050, driven by health interventions.

The report projects an increase in global life expectancy by 4.9 years for males and 4.2 years for females from 2022 to 2050., global life expectancy is likely to increase by 4.9 years in males and 4.2 years in females between 2022 and 2050.

As the disease burden transitions from communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional disorders to NCDs, and from Years of Life Lost to Years Lived with Disability , more people will live longer but spend more years in poor health. “While health inequalities between the highest-and-lowest-income regions will remain, the gaps are shrinking, with the biggest increases anticipated in sub-Saharan Africa,” highlights the report.The study also highlights cause-specific mortality, YLLs, YLDs, disability-adjusted life years, life expectancy, and HALE from 2022 through 2050 for 204 countries and territories.
