Dear Colleague,

Health in the US has far-reaching impacts, not only on well-being, but also for the economy and policy. The drivers of health are influenced by age, race, gender, and geography in increasingly complex ways. The US now ranks 45th in life expectancy globally, a major setback from the 24th place it occupied three decades ago. What would it take for the US be as healthy as its peers? Addressing risk factors including overweight and obesity, examining health disparities, and understanding forecasts of health trends in the US will be essential.

Join me for a live briefing on Wednesday, December 11 at 1 p.m. EST / 10 a.m. PST, where I will present IHME’s collection of new papers, part of The Lancet’s upcoming special issue on US health. During the event, I will give an overview of our findings and answer questions from the audience.

  *   “Disparities in wellbeing in the USA by race and ethnicity, age, sex, and location, 2008–21: an analysis using the Human Development Index” offers a first-of-its kind analysis on disparities in individual wellbeing measured by life span, education, and income across the US.

  *   “National-level and state-level prevalence of overweight and obesity among children, adolescents, and adults in the USA, 1990–2021, and forecasts up to 2050” provides the most comprehensive analysis at the national level and across all states and age groups of obesity rates in older adolescents (aged 15–24) and adults (aged 25+) from 1990 to 2021 and forecasts to 2050.
  *   “Ten Americas: a systematic analysis of life expectancy disparities in the USA” outlines where the health of US populations varies drastically, depending on racial and geographic divides over the last two decades.

  *   “The burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors by state in the USA, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021” looks at the decline in the US’s global life expectancy ranking from 1990 to 2021 and the leading causes of health loss.
  *   “Burden of disease scenarios by state in the USA: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021” projects the causes of poor health and early death from 2022 to 2050.
  *   “Maintaining momentum: the US and global development assistance for health, 2000–2030” discusses the US’s role as a leader in supporting global health programs and how this aligns with domestic health security goals.
  *   “A call to action: Reversing the decline of health in the United States” examines how the US can reverse its steady decline in health performance relative to peer nations.


We look forward to engaging with you.
