Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at UW Vision: All people living long lives in full health.

An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health. Mission: IHME delivers to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. Research: IHME’s research is organized around answering three critical questions that are essential to understanding the current state of population health and the strategies necessary to improve it. What are the world's major health problems? How well is society addressing these problems? How do we best dedicate resources to maximize health improvement? At the same time, we are expanding the field of health metrics by training the next generation of global health leaders in a science that is both accountable and transparent. We are also commited to data transparency and sharing and have launched the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) where methods and results will be freely accessible to all. Thanks to long-term funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and support from the state of Washington, we have been able to set an ambitious agenda for the Institute.

A new systematic analysis by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) shows that 54% of people in the United States (more than 180 million) are affected by a neurological disorder. This represents a wide range of conditions, but the most common are tension-type headache, migraine, and diabetic neuropathy.

This is an urgent call to action, says AAN President Dr. Natalia S. Rost. “It emphasizes the importance of accelerating research and discovery to achieve scientific breakthroughs in preventing and treating neurological diseases and disorders.”

According to a new systematic analysis from researchers at American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and IHME, in 2021, nervous system disorders were the top cause of health loss and impacted more than 180 million people. The leading causes of health loss were stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, diabetic neuropathy, and migraine.

New research aimed to re-quantify and re-estimate the risk factors of child growth failure (CGF) — which includes stunting, wasting, and underweight — to understand how they are related to diarrhea, lower respiratory tract infections, malaria, and measles. Researchers used data from the Global Burden of Disease study to examine the CGF burden from 2000 to 2023.

Dr. Bobby Reiner (Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at IHME within the School of Medicine at the University of Washington) discusses the findings in a new Q&A video: http://ms.spr.ly/6188tjbaq

The burden of headache disorders has remained unchanged globally from 1990 to 2023, according to recent research published in The Lancet Neurology, suggesting the root causes of headache disorders have not been addressed in over 30 years.

This alarming trend is attributed to migraines and medication-overuse headaches, the latter of which could be managed through access to appropriate care and education on safe medication use.

Using findings from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study, the new Philippine Health Atlas provides subnational estimates of disease burden, leading causes of mortality and morbidity, trends in risk factors, and drivers of changes in life expectancy to support evidence-based policymaking.

Last week, IHME joined the University of the Philippines Manila (UPM) and the Department of Health (DOH) for a four-day series of seminars and hands-on GBD workshops focused on strengthening capacity to interpret and apply GBD results. The trip concluded with the official launch of the Philippine Health Atlas, a milestone resource designed to advance health equity across provinces.

IHME is proud to collaborate with UPM and DOH on this ambitious effort and looks forward to continuing work together, including the forthcoming Philippines Health Equity Report.

Less than 20% of Nigeria’s population has access to basic dental care. In order to address this inequity, Dr. Adekemi Adeniyan has started mobile dental clinics and tele-dental kiosks, and facilitated oral health education for over 100,000 students.

She has trained 2,500 teachers and community health workers to act as oral health promoters in their communities.

Dr. Adeniyan has been recognized with IHME's 2025 Roux Prize for her work as an oral health care advocate and rural dentist. Learn more about her work in this comprehensive infographic: http://ms.spr.ly/6186tPzfI
