TL;DR: The authors in this article found that 30.23% of the total global burden of disease is attributable to disorders in people aged 60 years and older, and the leading contributors to disease burden in older people are cardiovascular diseases, malignant neoplasms (15·1%), chronic respiratory diseases (9·5%), musculoskeletal diseases (7·5), and neurological and mental disorders (6·6%).
