A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010
Open accessAbstract
Background Quantification of the disease burden caused by different risks informs prevention by providing an account of health loss different to that provided by a disease-by-disease analysis. No complete revision of global disease burden caused by risk factors has been done since a comparative risk assessment in 2000, and no previous analysis has assessed changes in burden attributable to risk factors over time.Methods We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; sum of years lived with disability [YLD] and years of life lost [YLL]) attributable to the independent effects of 67 risk factors and clusters of risk factors for 21 regions in 1990 and 2010. We estimated exposure distributions for each year, region, sex, and age group, and relative risks per unit of exposure by systematically reviewing and synthesising published and unpublished data. We used these estimates, together with estimates of cause-specific deaths and DALYs from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, to calculate the burden attributable to each risk factor exposure compared with the theoretical-minimum-risk exposure. We incorporated uncertainty in disease burden, relative risks, and exposures into our estimates of attributable burden.Findings In 2010, the three leading risk factors for global disease burden were high blood pressure (7·0% [95% uncertainty interval 6·2-7·7] of global DALYs), tobacco smoking including second-hand smoke (6·3% [5·5-7·0]), and alcohol use (5·5% [5·0-5·9]). In 1990, the leading risks were childhood underweight (7·9% [6·8-9·4]), household air pollution from solid fuels (HAP; 7·0% [5·6-8·3]), and tobacco smoking including second-hand smoke (6·1% [5·4-6·8]). Dietary risk factors and physical inactivity collectively accounted for 10·0% (95% UI 9·2-10·8) of global DALYs in 2010, with the most prominent dietary risks being diets low in fruits and those high in sodium. Several risks that primarily affect childhood communicable diseases, including unimproved water and sanitation and childhood micronutrient deficiencies, fell in rank between 1990 and 2010, with unimproved water and sanitation accounting for 0·9% (0·4-1·6) of global DALYs in 2010. However, in most of sub-Saharan Africa childhood underweight, HAP, and non-exclusive and discontinued breastfeeding were the leading risks in 2010, while HAP was the leading risk in south Asia. The leading risk factor in Eastern Europe, most of Latin America, and southern sub-Saharan Africa in 2010 was alcohol use; in most of Asia, North Africa and Middle East, and central Europe it was high blood pressure. Despite declines, tobacco smoking including second-hand smoke remained the leading risk in high-income north America and western Europe. High body-mass index has increased globally and it is the leading risk in Australasia and southern Latin America, and also ranks high in other high-income regions, North Africa and Middle East, and Oceania.Interpretation Worldwide, the contribution of different risk factors to disease burden has changed substantially, with a shift away from risks for communicable diseases in children towards those for non-communicable diseases in adults. These changes are related to the ageing population, decreased mortality among children younger than 5 years, changes in cause-of-death composition, and changes in risk factor exposures. New evidence has led to changes in the magnitude of key risks including unimproved water and sanitation, vitamin A and zinc deficiencies, and ambient particulate matter pollution. The extent to which the epidemiological shift has occurred and what the leading risks currently are varies greatly across regions. In much of sub-Saharan Africa, the leading risks are still those associated with poverty and those that affect children.Funding Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [176] Lozano, 2012, Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010, Lancet sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Results report substantial declines in deaths from diarrhoeal disease and lower respiratory infections between 1990 and 2010, versus a 19.9% rise in malaria mortality. That supports a difference in cause-specific mortality trends, but the cited paper does not establish the sentence’s additional claim that both referenced risks affect diarrhoea and respiratory infections but not malaria.

Before this study, no full update of worldwide risk-attributable disease burden had appeared since the 2000 comparative risk assessment.
“No complete revision of global disease burden caused by risk factors has been done since a comparative risk assessment in 2000”
The paper relies on this without support.
Earlier work had not examined how risk-attributable burden changed over time.
“no previous analysis has assessed changes in burden attributable to risk factors over time.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
When only one outcome's relative risk was available, the authors assumed it held for the other outcome unless evidence indicated otherwise.
“In these cases, we assumed that the reported RR would apply equally to morbidity or mortality, unless evidence suggested a differential effect.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Individual dietary component relative risks combine multiplicatively.

High body-mass index acts in part via blood pressure, total cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose.
“For example, the effects of high body-mass index are partly mediated through high blood pressure, high total cholesterol, and high fasting plasma glucose”
The paper relies on this without support.
Solid-fuel household air pollution adds to ambient fine particulate pollution.
“and household air pollution from solid fuels (wood, crop, residues, animal dung, charcoal, and coal) contributes to ambient particulate matter pollution.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Risk factors within a cluster are independent, with no mediation, exposure correlation, or effect-size modification between them.
“This approach assumes that risk factors are independent—ie, it does not account for mediation, exposure correlation, or effect size modification that might exist between risk factors in a cluster.155”
“we have approximated the joint effects of clusters of risk factors assuming that risk factors included in each cluster are independent.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Uncertainties in exposure, relative risk, and underlying burden attributable to the outcome are independent, except where correlation structure was explicitly modelled.
“We otherwise assumed that the uncertainties in exposure, RR, and underlying burden attributable to the outcome were independent.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
For clusters of risk factors, the joint effects were approximated by treating risk factors within each cluster as independent.
“For clusters of risk factors we have approximated the joint effects, assuming that risk factors within each cluster are independent.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
