JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, and the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation are hosting a UNGA side event to discuss data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study, the largest and most comprehensive source of health data with nearly 16,500 expert contributors in 168 countries.
Speakers will present the most up-to-date data for 204 countries and territories, and discuss trends observed from 1990 to 2023 at the regional, national, and subnational levels.
