WORLD HEALTH STATISTICS 2007

Introduction World health statistics 2007 presents the most recent health statistics for WHO’s 193 Member States. This third edition includes a section with 10 highlights of global health statistics for the past year as well as an expanded set of 50 health statistics. World health statistics 2007 has been collated from publications and databases produced by WHO’s technical programmes and regional ofﬁces. The core set of indicators was selected on the basis of their relevance to global health, the availability and quality of the data, and the accuracy and comparability of estimates. The statistics for the indicators are derived from an interactive process of data collection, compilation, quality assessment and estimation occurring among WHO’s technical programmes and its Member States. During this process, WHO strives to maximize the accessibility, accuracy, comparability and transparency of health statistics.1 In addition to national statistics, this publication presents statistics on the distribution of selected health outcomes and interventions within countries, disaggregated by gender, age, urban versus rural setting, wealth, and educational level. Such statistics are primarily derived from analyses of household surveys and are available only for a limited number of countries. We envisage that the number of countries reporting disaggregated data will increase during the next few years. The core indicators do not aim to capture all relevant aspects of health but to provide a comprehensive summary of the current status of a population’s health and the health system at country level. These indicators include: mortality outcomes, morbidity outcomes, risk factors, coverage of selected health interventions, health systems, inequalities in health, and demographic and socioeconomic statistics. All statistics have been cleared as WHO’s ofﬁcial ﬁgures in consultation with Member States unless otherwise stated. WHO’s estimates use data from publicly accessible databases, peer-reviewed methods of estimation, and consultation with experts around the world. The estimates published here should, however, still be regarded as best estimates made by WHO rather than the ofﬁcial view of Member States. As the demand for timely, reliable and comparable information on key health statistics continues to increase, users need to be well informed about the deﬁnitions used and the quality and limitations of health statistics. More detailed information, including a compendium of statistics and an online version of this publication, is available from WHO’s Statistical Information System (http://www.who.int/statistics). The web site also includes information on how each statistic is derived. The online version of World health statistics 2007 will be updated regularly, and it includes the most recent estimates and time-series of relevant health statistics. The online version also provides, whenever possible, metadata describing the sources of data, estimation methods and quality of estimates. It is hoped that careful scrutiny and use of the statistics presented in this report will lead to progressively better measurement of relevant indicators of population health and health systems.

1. To meet these objectives, WHO has initiated the organization-wide Programme on Health Statistics. For more information, see http://www.who.int/healthinfo/statistics/programme/en/index.html. 7

Note: Each point in the ﬁgure is a mortality rate for children under 5 years of age (under-ﬁve mortality rate) derived from questions in household surveys or censuses about the survival history of children (direct method) or from questions on children ever born and still alive in the household (indirect method).

The ability to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) depends primarily on data availability. There is a stark contrast between the data available about the under-ﬁve mortality rate, the indicator for MDG 4, and the maternal mortality ratio, against which MDG 5 is monitored. Under-ﬁve mortality rates are derived from vital registration systems, censuses and household surveys.1 In most countries, there are data points available over time, and these are analysed to obtain the best current estimate. Uncertainty occurs when there is a need to project estimates forward to the current year since the most recent data generally refer to a few years earlier. Measuring the maternal mortality ratio has been a greater challenge because, compared with deaths among children, maternal deaths are rare events. In countries without a complete death registration system and medical certiﬁcation, large-scale household surveys or censuses using verbal autopsy techniques provide estimates of the ratio, since facility-based statistics are inherently biased. Even then, much uncertainty remains. As a consequence, the global estimate of the maternal mortality ratio is published only once every ﬁve years, and in 2000, 40% of countries’ estimates were based on ﬁgures predicted by regression.4 The ability to reliably assess trends in maternal mortality is limited. For monitoring, it is important to distinguish between corrected and predicted statistics.5,6 Corrected statistics use adjustments made for known biases and, if needed, are based on a systematic reconciliation of data from multiple sources using established, transparent methods. Predicted statistics use a set of assumptions about the association between other factors and the quantity of interest, such as maternal mortality, to ﬁll gaps in the data over time (projecting into the present or future) or space (from one population with data to another with limited or no data). Predicted statistics are not suitable for monitoring progress. Unfortunately, the MDG monitoring process relies heavily on predicted statistics.5 This mismatch was created partly by the demand for more timely statistics and partly by the lack of data and good measurement strategies for certain statistics. It is crucial for the international community to invest in data collection and use indicators that are valid, reliable and comparable; the international community must also have well-deﬁned measurement strategies for monitoring progress and evaluating health programmes.7 10

The exact number of people living with HIV is unknown despite the fact that HIV infection can easily be diagnosed by a widely used antibody test. Achieving 100% certainty about the number of people living with HIV globally would require testing every person in the world for HIV every year. Nonetheless, we can estimate the number by using data from different sources, such as surveillance of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics, household surveys with HIV testing and sentinel surveillance among populations at higher risk of HIV infection. UNAIDS and WHO, in close consultation with countries, employ a standardized method for obtaining estimates of HIV prevalence among men and women. An increasing number of countries have adopted these methods to develop their own national estimates. But an estimate is only as good as the data. As more complete data become available, past estimates may need to be adjusted. This is the case for the AIDS epidemic. The bars in the ﬁgure estimate the number of people infected with HIV at the time of publication of each annual AIDS epidemic update since 2000.8–14 The line shows the best estimates for each year that were made in 2006 in the most recent update: this reveals not only that the size of the epidemic had been overestimated previously but also that it is still growing. The ranges around the estimates reﬂect the degree of uncertainty about global HIV estimates. Improvements in recent estimates are the result of revisions made using better data. These revisions used data from national population-based surveys and beneﬁted from improvements in the quality and coverage of sentinel surveillance systems in many countries. The latest estimates cannot be compared directly with estimates published previously. It would be incorrect to derive a trend by comparing the bars. The 2006 estimates for this year and past years (indicated by the line) are more accurate than those produced in previous years since they are based on improved methods and used more data than earlier estimates. The need to exercise caution is not unusual when comparing global estimates of disease over time. 11

Predicted statistics have an important and useful role in helping to inform planning and strategic decisionmaking, and in prioritizing research and development issues. According to projections carried out by WHO and published in early 2006,15 the world will experience a substantial shift in the distribution of deaths from younger age groups to older age groups, and from communicable diseases to noncommunicable diseases during the next 25 years. Large declines in mortality are projected to occur between 2002 and 2030 for all of the principal communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional causes, with the exception of HIV/AIDS. Global deaths from HIV/AIDS are projected to rise from 2.8 million in 2002 to 6.5 million in 2030 under a baseline scenario that assumes antiretroviral drug coverage reaches 80% by 2012. Although age-speciﬁc death rates for most noncommunicable diseases are projected to decline, the ageing of the global population will result in signiﬁcant increases in the total number of deaths caused by most noncommunicable diseases over the next 30 years. Overall, noncommunicable conditions will account for almost 70% of all deaths in 2030 under the baseline scenario. The projected 40% increase in global deaths resulting from injury between 2002 and 2030 is predominantly due to the increasing number of deaths from road trafﬁc accidents. The four leading causes of death globally in 2030 are projected to be ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease (stroke), HIV/AIDS and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The total number of tobaccoattributable deaths is projected to rise from 5.4 million in 2005 to 6.4 million in 2015 and to 8.3 million in 2030. Tobacco is projected to kill 50% more people in 2015 than HIV/AIDS and to be responsible for 10% of all deaths.

4. Child undernutrition: where are we now? Geographical pattern of stunting in children under 5 years of age16

The release of WHO’s new Child Growth Standards (http://www.who.int/childgrowth/en) has an impact on estimates of undernutrition among children. Global, regional and country estimates have been recalculated using the new standards, which include data from 388 national surveys in 139 countries.16 In 2005, in all developing countries 32% of children under 5 years of age (178 million children) were estimated to be stunted (that is, their height fell –2 standard deviations below the median height-for-age of the reference population). In that year, more than 40% of stunting was found in the WHO regions of Africa and South-East Asia, around 25% in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and 10–15% in the regions of the Americas and the Western Paciﬁc. Of the 39 countries with a prevalence of stunting of 40% and higher, 22 are in the African Region, 7 in South-East Asia, 4 in the Eastern Mediterranean, 4 in the Western Paciﬁc, and 1 each in Europe and in the Americas. Of the 35 countries with a stunting prevalence lower than 20%, 13 are in the Region of the Americas, 11 in Europe, 6 in the Eastern Mediterranean, 3 in the Western Paciﬁc and 2 in South-East Asia. Wasting (deﬁned as being –2 standard deviations below the median of weight-for-height) is a sign of acute malnutrition and is a strong predictor of mortality among children. The global estimate of wasting occurring among children under 5 years of age based on WHO’s new standards is 10% (or 55 million). The highest number of affected children – 29 million – is estimated to live in south–central Asia. The same regional pattern is found for severe wasting (deﬁned as being –3 standard deviations below the median), with an estimated total prevalence of 4% – or 19 million – children affected. Many of these children are likely to die before reaching the age of 5 years. In general, compared with estimates based on the previous international reference, stunting rates are higher for all age groups when the new WHO standards are used. Additionally, the prevalences of wasting and severe wasting are higher during the ﬁrst half of infancy with the new WHO standards; and thereafter severe wasting rates continue to be 1.5 to 2.5 times higher than those of the previous reference.

5. Levels and causes of death: ﬁlling data gaps Quality of cause-of-death information from national civil registration systems, based on latest data received from WHO Member States, circa 200317,19

Note: The criteria used to assess the quality of cause-of-death information are valid for data from national civil registration systems. Therefore, they do not apply to China and India since they report data from sample registration systems, which cover < 10% of their populations.

Accurate and timely data on deaths and causes of death with medical certiﬁcation are essential. WHO collects information on causes of death from its Member States annually. However, for more than a fourth of the world’s population – largely located in Africa, South-East Asia and the Middle East – there are no recent data available to WHO, and these are the areas where much of the burden of disease falls. Altogether, 115 Member States have some form of death registration known to WHO; this includes China and India, which also have sample vital registration systems. There are delays in compiling, analysing and reporting these statistics: by 2007 WHO had received reports for 2004 or 2005 for 64 (56%) countries. An assessment of the quality of cause-of-death information by WHO suggested that ideal systems operate in only 29 of 115 countries that report such statistics to WHO; these systems represent less than 13% of the world’s population.17 In the remaining countries mortality statistics suffer from one or more of the following problems: incomplete registration of births and deaths, lay reporting of the cause of death, poor coverage and incorrect reporting of ages. The ultimate goals should be to establish complete vital registration with medical certiﬁcation of deaths in all countries. National governments, with the support of international organizations, need to continue to make efforts to improve the coverage and quality of vital registration systems. At the same time, complementary approaches to complete vital registration are needed to respond to the demand for timely information and to assess the performance of the systems themselves. WHO, in collaboration with its partners, is stepping up efforts to improve the quality of data that underlies its overall estimates of mortality by age, sex and cause.18 Such efforts include making better use of household surveys and censuses, implementing standardized verbal autopsy instruments, and using data from partial vital registration and sources other than vital registration. 14

Health inequalities refer to differences in health status or in the distribution of health determinants between different populations. The burden of disease attributable to tobacco use weighs increasingly heavily on populations in developing economies. According to the latest estimates, more than 80% of the 8.3 million deaths attributed to tobacco and projected to the year 2030 will occur in low-income and middle-income countries.15 Data on the prevalence of smoking among adults in developing countries are limited. WHO’s World Health Survey provides a valuable insight into the comparative prevalence among adults aged 18 and older.20 The results of the 2003–2004 survey indicate that daily tobacco smoking is most prevalent among the lowest-income households in developing economies – that is, among the poorest of the poor. Indeed, prevalence is highest among the poor in all WHO regions except the European Region. The difference in prevalence between the poor and the (relatively) rich is greatest among the group of South-East Asian countries surveyed, where average per capita income is lowest. The combination of a higher prevalence of tobacco use and more limited access to health resources results in severe health inequalities, and is likely to perpetuate the vicious circle of illness and poverty. Inequalities between and within countries in terms of the risk of infectious diseases now have been extended to inequalities in risk factors for noncommunicable diseases; this has implications for health systems at all levels.

Depression is an important global public health problem due to both its relatively high lifetime prevalence and the signiﬁcant disability that it causes. In 2002, depression accounted for 4.5% of the worldwide total burden of disease (in terms of disability-adjusted life years). It is also responsible for the greatest proportion of burden attributable to non-fatal health outcomes, accounting for almost 12% of total years lived with disability worldwide.21 Without treatment, depression has the tendency to assume a chronic course, to recur, and to be associated with increasing disability over time. WHO’s World Health Survey collected data on health and health-related outcomes and their determinants in samples of adults aged 18 years and older.20 The prevalence of depression was estimated using criteria in the International statistical classiﬁcation of diseases and related health problems, tenth revision (ICD-10). The prevalences of four chronic physical diseases – angina, arthritis, asthma and diabetes – were also estimated. The ﬁgure shows the mean health score – where 0 is the worst level of health and 100 is the best level of health – for each disease with and without accompanying depression. Individuals without depression and without other conditions had a mean health score of 90. Respondents with only one of the chronic diseases had mean health scores of around 80. Respondents with depression but without chronic disease had the lowest mean health score (73). Respondents with depression and another chronic condition had much lower mean health scores when compared with respondents who had only a chronic condition. These patterns were consistent after adjusting for sociodemographic variables. This analysis does not tell us whether people are more depressed because they have a coexisting chronic condition. The timely diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders are essential irrespective of causality. In many primary care settings when patients present with multiple disorders that include depression, the depression often remains undiagnosed, and even if it is diagnosed, treatment usually focuses on the other chronic diseases. Depression can be treated in primary care or community settings using locally available and cost-effective interventions. 16

Measuring socioeconomic inequalities in a population’s health is important because national averages often mask differences within and across subgroups. For policy purposes it is especially relevant to understand why unfair and avoidable inequalities (or inequities) exist and what actions may be taken to improve equity. Decomposition analysis is one approach used to quantify the contribution made by different factors to inequities in health; it takes into account the socioeconomic distribution of determinants of health and health indicators.22 Such analysis can serve as one input to aid in the development of evidence-based policies, relevant to a particular context or country, to reduce inequities. For example, decomposition analysis using data from the 2003 Demographic and Health Survey in Mozambique shows that the four biggest contributors to poor growth in children (deﬁned as height-for-age falling 2 standard deviations below the median of the reference population) stratiﬁed by household wealth are: source of drinking water (19%), household wealth itself (17%), geographical differences (16%) and mother’s occupation (13%).23 An additional 10 factors identiﬁed in the survey together contribute 35%. Using this technique to uncover inequities reveals that strategies to address contributing factors are likely to require collaborative and intersectoral actions that are not limited to health authorities or the health system. Describing health inequities and understanding their determinants require process and outcome data that can be disaggregated by different socioeconomic or demographic characteristics, as well as the ability to link data from different sectors in a country. WHO is contributing to these efforts by setting norms and standards, and providing technical assistance to Member States. 17

There were an estimated 8.8 million new tuberculosis (TB) cases in 2005, including 7.4 million in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. A total of 1.6 million people died of TB, including 195 000 patients infected with HIV. Using surveillance data, Global tuberculosis control: surveillance, planning, ﬁnancing draws four main conclusions about TB control programmes.24 First, although more than 26 million TB patients have been treated under WHO’s DOTS strategy, the world’s TB control programmes narrowly missed their 2005 targets for case detection (reaching 60% compared to the target of 70%) and cure (84% compared to the target of 85%). However, both targets were met in WHO’s Western Paciﬁc Region and in 26 countries including China, the Philippines and Viet Nam. Second, while the total number of patients diagnosed and treated in 2005 using DOTS approached the target, the number of patients known to be HIV positive or carrying multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) were far fewer than anticipated by The Global Plan to Stop TB 2006–2015.25 Therefore, major efforts are needed to step up collaborative activities between TB and HIV programmes and to manage MDR-TB and extensively drug-resistant TB. Third, the global TB epidemic appears to be on the threshold of decline. The incidence rate is now stable or falling in all WHO regions, including Africa and Europe. These ﬁndings, if robust, mean that MDG Target 8 (“Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases [including TB]”) will be met before 2015. However, the total number of new cases was still rising slowly in 2005 in WHO’s African, Eastern Mediterranean and South-East Asia regions. For reasons that are not fully understood, in Asian countries that report high rates of case detection and treatment success, the incidence has not been reduced as quickly as expected. This is linked to the fourth conclusion: the global burden of TB is not falling fast enough to satisfy the more demanding targets set by the Stop TB Partnership. At the current pace, 1990’s prevalence and mortality rates will not be halved worldwide by 2015. 18

In 2004, the world spent a total of US$ 4.1 trillion on health, which is equivalent to 4.9 trillion international dollars. (International dollars are used to account for the purchasing power of different national currencies.) The geographical distribution of ﬁnancial resources for health is uneven.26 There is a 20/90 syndrome in which 30 member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) make up less than 20% of the world’s population but spend 90% of the world’s resources on health. OECD countries spend a larger share of their gross domestic product on health, spending on average more than 11%, compared with 4.7% for countries in WHO’s African and South-East Asia regions. This translates to per capita spending of about 3080 international dollars (US$ 3170) in OECD countries compared with 102 international dollars (US$ 36) in countries in the African and South-East Asia regions, which are much poorer. Linking this spending to epidemiology, the ﬁgure shows that although poorer WHO regions, such as Africa and South-East Asia, account for the largest share of the global burden of disease (more than 50% of global disability-adjusted life years lost) and 37% of the world’s population, they spend about 2% of global resources on health. The Western Paciﬁc Region, excluding Australia, Japan, New Zealand and the Republic of Korea, accounts for 24% of the world’s population (which is dominated by China), about 18% of the global burden of disease but only 2% of the world’s health resources. The Region of the Americas and the European Region, excluding the OECD countries, account for about 12% of the world’s population, 11% of the global burden of disease and spend slightly less than 5% of health resources. Richer countries with smaller populations and lower disease burdens use more health resources than poorer countries with larger populations and higher disease burdens. This highlights the absolute need for additional resources for many poor countries and raises questions about the efﬁciency of spending on health in richer countries.

Geneva, World Health Organization, 2001 (GPE Discussion Paper Series No.31) (http://www.who.int/entity/healthinfo/paper31.pdf). j YLL, years of life lost. k The sum of individual proportions may not add up to 100% due to rounding. l Communicable diseases include maternal causes, conditions arising during the perinatal period and nutritional deﬁciencies. m Neonatal causes include diarrhoea occurring during the neonatal period. Sources: Bryce J et al. WHO estimates of the causes of death in children. Lancet, 2005, 365:1147–1152; Mortality proﬁles. Geneva, World Health Organization, 2007 (http://www.who.int/whosis/mort/proﬁles). n Estimate will be ﬁnalized following completion of an ongoing analysis (as of March 2007) designed to reconcile results from multiple recent surveys. o On 3 June 2006, the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Serbia to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva informed the Acting Director-General of the WHO that “the membership of the state union Serbia and Montenegro in the United Nations, including all organs and the organizations of the United Nations system, is continued by the Republic of Serbia on the basis of Article 60 of the Constitutional Charter of Serbia and Montenegro, activated by the Declaration of Independence adopted by the National Assembly of Montenegro on 3 June 2006”. Certain data, statistics and other factual elements used or referred to in this report cover a period of time preceding that communication. Consequently, the expression “Serbia and Montenegro” may appear with reference to the status of the Member State in question before the aforementioned communication. The use of that expression is without prejudice to the status of either the Republic of Serbia or of Montenegro in the light of the afore mentioned communication.

Gross domestic product (GDP) includes income from both licit and illicit (opium) sources. Previous releases of World health statistics reported only licit GDP. Estimates do not include expenditures for the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. Benchmark revision of the gross domestic product lowers relative health expenditure compared with previous releases of World health statistics. Estimates do not include expenditures incurred in northern Iraq. Public expenditure on health includes contributions made by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to Palestinian refugees residing in Jordan. Changes in classiﬁcations linked to the health account systems led to changes as compared to previous releases. The market exchange rate was used this year instead of the ofﬁcial exchange rates, which were used in previous releases. The exchange rate used is the rate from the Central Bank of Syria for non-commercial transactions. Large amounts of funds from external sources, mainly for capital expenditures, resulted in high expenditures on health. See footnote o to the table on Health status: mortality. Estimates do not include expenditures incurred in the provinces of Kosovo and Metohia.
