India Bears 32 Per Cent Global Burden of Respiratory Diseases

India has 18 per cent of the world’s population but 32 per cent of the global burden of respiratory diseases. Respiratory disease burden in India is second to that of ischaemic heart disease, found a state-level analysis of the Global Burden of Disease data. Chronic respiratory diseases were responsible for 10.9 per cent of the total deaths and 6.4 per cent of the total DALYs (a globally recognized disease burden estimate calculated on the basis of the number of productive life years cut short by disease) in India in 2016. The corresponding figures for 1990 were 9.6 per cent and 4.5 per cent, respectively. Pollution was the biggest contributor to the respiratory disease burden. About 33.6 per cent of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (DALYs) could be attributed to ambient air pollution, 25.8 per cent to household air pollution, and 21 per cent to smoking.
