Global economic burden of depression in 154 countries from 2025 to 2050
Abstract Depression is a major contributor to the global burden of diseases with substantial socioeconomic consequences. Here, to estimate the economic effects of depression, we developed a macroeconomic model using data from the World Bank and Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. The model estimated the impact of depression on labor force participation, educational attainment and work experience, adjusted for age and sex.
Policy, trust, and symptoms: a multi-stakeholder qualitative study of COPD awareness in rural China
Abstract Despite the disproportionately high burden of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in rural China, disease awareness remains profoundly low. Existing quantitative assessments outline the prevalence of this awareness deficit but offer limited insight into the complex sociocultural and structural factors driving the awareness gap of COPD. This study aimed to identify the key facilitators and barriers shaping COPD awareness among multiple stakeholders in rural southwest China.

Economic burden of falls for 190 countries and territories from 2020 to 2050 based on health-augmented macroeconomic modelling
Abstract Falls contribute to substantial and growing health losses worldwide, yet how they relate to economic output has not been quantified at the global level. Here we estimated the macroeconomic losses attributable to falls in 190 countries and territories for 2020–2050 using a health-augmented macroeconomic model capturing reduced labour supply from mortality and morbidity; heterogeneity in human capital by age, education and experience; and lower capital accumulation from treatment spending.
Economic evaluations of screening and case-finding for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): a systematic review - npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) imposes significant health and economic burdens globally. Screening and case-finding strategies are increasingly recognized as critical methods to enhance early diagnosis and management of COPD. It is important to understand the economic impact and cost-effectiveness of these strategies to inform the population health policies and real-world practice.
The global macroeconomic burden of diabetes mellitus - Nature Medicine
Abstract Diabetes mellitus poses a substantial and rising global health and economic burden, affecting more than one in ten adults worldwide. Using a health-augmented macroeconomic model across 204 countries and territories, we estimated the economic impact of diabetes from 2020 to 2050, incorporating losses in effective labor supply due to mortality and morbidity, treatment-related resource diversion and informal caregiving costs.

Global and regional projections of the economic burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias from 2019 to 2050: A value of statistical life approach
Summary The burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) is expected to grow rapidly with population aging, especially in low- and middle-income countries, in the next few decades. We used a willingness-to-pay approach to project the global, regional, and national economic burden of ADRDs from 2019 to 2050 under status quo.
The global economic burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for 204 countries and territories in 2020-50: a health-augmented macroeconomic modelling study - The Lancet Global Health
Summary Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide and imposes a substantial economic burden. Gaining a thorough understanding of the economic implications of COPD is an important prerequisite for sound, evidence-based policy making. We aimed to estimate the macroeconomic burden of COPD for each country and establish its distribution across world regions.

Effective pandemic management that minimises economic harm
Klaus Prettner, Simiao Chen, Michael Kuhn, David Bloom 04 January 2021 Proponents of the ‘herd immunity’ approach to COVID-19 argue for a largely uncontrolled outbreak in the low-risk population, while protecting the vulnerable, to achieve natural immunisation at minimal economic cost. In contrast, others favour fighting COVID-19 with all possible means, including lockdowns.
