IHME researchers adapted the Human Development Index (HDI) to the individual level—combining years of education, household consumption, expected lifespan—to examine disparities in well-being. HDI was very unequal across studied racial/ethnic groups from 2008–2021: ms.spr.ly/63325aWOy1

Graphic on a white background with a red, pill-shaped label at the top reading "CHRONIC DISEASE AND DISABILITY IN THE US" in bold white text. Below, a key finding is displayed in two weights: the bolded phrase "People in the lowest Human Development Index decile" followed in regular weight by "were disproportionately concentrated in the South, Appalachia, and the Rust Belt of the United States." The IHME logo and wordmark appear in the bottom right corner.

According to a new analysis published in @thelancetph.bsky.social, more than 2.7 billion people were exposed to second-hand smoke in 2023, contributing to nearly 1.7 million deaths.

Global and regional DALY rates attributable to second-hand smoke by cause, 2023: age-standardised rates for all ages (A) and age-specific rates for children aged 0–14 years (B). Bar heights represent cause-specific DALY rates attributable to second-hand smoke in the respective populations, globally and in each of the seven GBD super-regions. DALY=disability-adjusted life year. GBD=The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. Copyright: 2026 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. CC BY 4.0.
