The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) provides data on the Global Burdens of Disease that can be accessed here http://ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-results-tool. IHME provides data on multiple metrics that we pull into IFs, including deaths, DALYs, incidence, prevelance, violence and forecasts for each. The latest IFs data update for this series was in February 2024, covering 188 economies over the years 1990-2019.

IFs Series

There are currently 146 series that are pulled from the IHME into IFs. The latest data has been pulled from the report updated on February, 2024 by Python scripts.

Update in February 2024

The data can be accessed from the GBD tool at http://ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-results-tool. You can download the data based on the table below for each series.

Note: ViolenceInterpersonChild & ViolenceInterpersonWomenAdult have changed a lot, we identify the Age by comparing the trend of old data in IFsHistSeries and the new data from GBD.

Additional IHME Series

Life Expectancy

Life expectancy data can be pulled from https://ghdx.healthdata.org/record/ihme-data/gbd-2019-life-tables-1950-2019. Just download Life Tables: Age < 1 year and use the IHME_GBD_2019_LIFE_TABLES_1950_2019_ID_28_NOSHOCK_Y2020M07D31.CSV (28 means "Age Group < 1 year").

Infant Mortality

Life expectancy data can be pulled from two different sources depending on the series. You can download the data by age group.

Note: InfMortRateIHME must be manually added together, the data can only be downloaded by separate age groups.

Things to Be Aware of While Pulling

  1. For the historical deaths by disease series, the data are in millions in IFs. So you will need to do this conversion before you import.
  2. Be aware of the definition of each preprocessor and its unit so that you can find the exact match in the IHME GBD variables.
  3. Some regions in IFs are not provided by IHME yet, we are encouraged to use proxies. For example, use China, Albania, and Morocco for Hong Kong, Kosovo, and Sahrawi respectively. Be mindful that for tables with units in rate or percent, proximal values can be directly applied; however, when values are in numbers or headcounts, you will need to borrow the population figures to apply values proportionally.

August 2019 Update

For the 2019 update, we have added historical deaths by disease by sex data for the years 1990-2017. These are new series, as we only had totals and not aggregated by sex.
