Plausible projections of future mortality and disability are a useful aid in decisions on priorities for health research, capital investment, and training. Rates and patterns of ill health are determined by factors such as socioeconomic development, educational attainment, technological developments, and their dispersion among populations, as well as exposure to hazards such as tobacco. As part of the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), we developed three scenarios of future mortality and disability for different age-sex groups, causes, and regions.

PIP: As part of the Global Burden of Disease Study, three scenarios of future mortality and disability were identified. The scenarios were based on future health status as a function of projected changes in key socioeconomic variables that influence health status. Regression equations for mortality rates for nine cause-of-death clusters were developed by region based on gross domestic product per person, average number of years of education, time (as a proxy for technological change), and smoking intensity. Life expectancy at birth was projected, in all three scenarios, to increase for women (to about 90 years in established market economies by 2020), with far smaller gains in male life expectancy. Worldwide, annual mortality from communicable maternal, perinatal, and nutritional disorders (group 1 causes) is expected to decline from 17.2 million to 10.3 million in 2020 in the baseline model. Also expected is a very large increase in deaths from non-communicable diseases (group 2 causes) from 28.1 million in 1990 to 49.7 million in 2020. Deaths from injuries (group 3) are projected to increase from 5.1 million to 8.4 million. Diarrheal diseases, perinatal disorders, measles, and malaria are expected to decline dramatically as causes of death in the 1990-2020 period, while lung cancer, stomach cancer, war injuries, liver cancer, and HIV are expected to move up five or more places in the ranking. In 2020, the 10 leading causes of disability-adjusted life-years (in descending order) are projected to be ischemic heart disease, unipolar major depression, road traffic accidents, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower respiratory infections, tuberculosis, war injuries, diarrheal diseases, and HIV. Tobacco-attributable mortality is projected to increase from 3.0 million in 1990 to 8.4 million in 2020 (9% of the worldwide mortality burden).
