Diarrhea deaths have dropped worldwide ... children and the elderly that are most affected
A report, recently released by the ‘Global Blind Disease Study Network’, has shown a 60% decline in deaths since 1990 due to global diarrhea diseases. However, the death rates remain high between children and the elderly, especially in Sub -Saharan Africa and South Asia, according to the report published by the Institute of Health Measures and Evaluation, and published in the magazine “Lancet: Infectious Diseases” Lancet: Infections Dises. In 2021, diarrhea diseases caused 1.2 million people around the world, compared to 2.9 million in 1990. The largest decrease among children under the age of five was 79%, but this age group still achieved the highest death rates, compared to the rest of the ages, followed by people of 70 years or higher. The study shows a major impact on diarrhea on public health, as this disease is still a major burden on health systems in many low and medium revenue countries. Diarrhea diseases, caused by a variety of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, are major public health issues in the world as it causes more than a million deaths annually. According to the study, these diseases are one of the most important causes of death in children under the age of five, especially in low -income countries. Irbilante Xoconi are the most important factors associated with diarrhea diseases are Escherichia Coli, specifically the stems that produce OKSIN, which is a very toxic substance produced by bacteria. Research has shown the major role that these tribes play in moderate to severe diarrhea in children in low -income countries. In an effort to reduce this burden, global health initiatives have been launched to prevent and control diarrhea, with the aim of preventing the deaths that can be avoided from the age of five. Immune system. Despite the global efforts to address this disease, the burdens are still great in some age groups, especially children and the elderly, suffering from worse health results compared to adults. This study is the first of its kind to have the burden of diarrhea due to 13 types of microbes, including the “E Colai” tribes responsible for acute diarrhea, in detail, and this analysis contributes to identifying pathogens with a heavy burden separately, which helps to more accurately. Diarrhea deaths worldwide and data show a clear regional difference in the rate of diarrhea deaths; In countries with high income, deaths are less than one case per 100,000 children under the age of five, while the rate in sub -Saharan Africa exceeds more than 150 deaths per 100,000 children in the same age group, which is the highest in the world. As for South Asia, it recorded the highest death rates among the elderly (476 deaths per 100,000 people). In 2021, diarrhea diseases around the world caused 59 million years to be disabled, and this number could be reduced to 4.99 million years if all increased risk factors were removed. The year of life changed by disabilities is a unit of measurement used to assess the pathological burden on public health, and this combines the number of years a person loses as a result of early death; Due to a disease, or a state of health, and the number of years in which a person has a state of health that affects the quality of his life. By comparing this data with previous studies, the Rota virus and the Shigila bacteria were still the most important pathogenic factors responsible for diarrhea deaths among children under the age of five in 2021, while one of the gut bacteria was the main cause of diarrhea deaths in high -rising countries, especially in people of 70 years. Diarrhea and risk factors include the most important risk factors of diarrhea diseases, low birth weight, premature birth, malnutrition in children, unsafe water and bad sanitation. The decrease in death rates and disability rates due to effective health interventions such as oral drug, improving water and sewerage infrastructure, and global vaccination campaigns against the Rota virus. Despite the encouraging progress in combating diarrhea deaths, the first author of the study says Hui Hui Qiu: “We need a multiple approach that combines therapeutic and preventative solutions to relieve the pressure on health systems.” Rota and diarrhea vaccines indicated that the Rota virus vaccines, now given in more than 100 countries, contributed to a significant reduction in hospital access figures and deaths associated with diarrhea. The researchers see the need for the expansion of vaccine development efforts, to include other pathogens that cause diarrhea, and to integrate vaccines to provide greater protection at lower costs. For the first time, the study contains specific data on pathogens of the World Health Organization Network to monitor diarrhea in children in countries with a high burden. The global burden of diseases (GBD) is the most comprehensive evaluation of public health as it provides accurate estimates of the burden across all age groups, gender and areas, with an analysis of risk factors in 204 countries, and regions between 1990 and 2021. While the report shows tangible progress, much to achieve the burden of diarra.
