  • The growing crisis of obesity in the US
    It’s an issue across every state and every age group: sharply rising rates of overweight and obesity. The most comprehensive study of current and future trends in the United States finds that by 2050, 213 million adults and more than 43 million children and adolescents are expected to have overweight or obesity. IHME researchers note that urgent action is needed to tackle the complex factors contributing to this problem. We discuss the data with study author Affiliate Associate Professor Marie Ng. Transcript 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.

  • Measuring well-being across the US
    Race, gender, and where you live can have a profound impact on your well-being. In a first-of-its kind analysis, new data shows significant disparities in individual well-being as measured by lifespan, education, and income. As researchers point out, these disparities are not merely statistics, but a call for action. We discuss the data with study author IHME Associate Professor Laura Dwyer-Lindgren.  Transcript 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.
