Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Jeffrey D. Stanaway, +1053 more

TL;DR: This study estimated levels and trends in exposure, attributable deaths, and attributable disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by age group, sex, year, and location for 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or groups of risks from 1990 to 2017 and explored the relationship between development and risk exposure.

Nigel Rollins, +8 more
- 30 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The marketing of breastmilk substitutes negatively affects breastfeeding: global sales in 2014 of US$44·8 billion show the industry's large, competitive claim on infant feeding as discussed by the authors.

Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies

Alison McFadden, +10 more
- 28 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: All forms of extra support analyzed together showed a decrease in cessation of 'any breastfeeding', which includes partial and exclusive breastfeeding, and substantial heterogeneity for within-group heterogeneity remained high for all of these analyses, so advise caution when making specific conclusions based on subgroup results.

Linda Richter, +13 more
- 07 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: New analyses show that the burden of poor development is higher than estimated, taking into account additional risk factors, and national programmes are needed to support early childhood development.
