“…Although there was a 30% decrease in adult HIV-related mortality between 2007 and 2008, most South African villages still experienced a small increase in mortality from 2007 to 2013[4]. In some Eastern Mediterranean Regions (EMRs), the male mortality rate of HIV/AIDS increased from 0.38 per 100,000 to 2.15 per 100,000, with an increase of 6.7% annually since 1990, which was double that among females[5].…”

Objectives HIV/AIDS has become the leading cause of death by infectious disease in China since 2009. However, the trend of gender disparities in HIV/AIDS has not been reported in China since 1990. Our study aimed to explore the secular trend of HIV/AIDS mortality in China from 1990 to 2016 and to identify its gender disparities over the past 27 years. Method The mortality data of HIV/AIDS were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016). Logistic regression was used to estimate the prevalence odds ratio (POR) of gender for HIV/AIDS mortality in different surveys. Results The standardized mortality of HIV/AIDS in China rose dramatically from 0.33 per 100,000 people in 1990 to 2.50 per 100,000 people in 2016. The rate of HIV/AIDS mortality increased more quickly in men than in women, and the sex gap of mortality of HIV/AIDS widened. By 2016, the HIV/AIDS mortality in men was 3 times that in women and was 5.74 times that in women within the 75- to 79-year-old age group. Conclusions The mortality of HIV/AIDS in China is increasing, with a widening gender disparity. It is critical for policymakers to develop policies to eliminate these disparities and to ensure that everyone can live a long life in full health.

“…In most countries, men have higher mortality rates compared to women, as evidenced by studies in China, Zimbabwe, and Eastern Mediterranean countries, including Brazil. [20][21][22][23]2 Referring to the mortality coefficient in the young age group, from 15 to 19 years old, there was a tendency to increase, especially among women, whereas among men, the trend is linear, but always higher when compared to women. In males aged 20 to 24 years the mortality rate goes from 2.5 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants in 2007 to 4.0 deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants in 2017.…”

Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico da infecção pela Aids em jovens entre 15 a 34 anos, notificados com Aids e o panorama dos óbitos no período de 2007 a 2017 em um estado do nordeste do Brasil. Método: Estudo descritivo realizado por meio de levantamento na base de dados Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação. A coleta ocorreu julho de 2018. Resultados: O sexo masculino obteve 69% das notificações, com um aumento homogêneo no número de notificação com um pico nos anos de 2010 (6,82%), 2014 e 2015 (12,41%) e 2017 (16,11%). A capital obteve os maiores percentuais de casos (66,41%) e o número de óbito diminuiu ao longo dos anos. Conclusão: À exemplo do acontece nos demais estados do Brasil, o perfil da Aids em jovens experimenta uma mudança ao longo dos anos bem como um considerável aumento do número de casos notificados e declínio dos óbitos.

“…As a result, health in many EMR countries has failed to improve in recent years (Mokdad et al 2016a, 2014). As other papers in this series highlight, there is now an increasing burden of many preventable health problems including HIV, mental health disorders, and intentional injury (GBD 2015 Eastern Mediterranean Region HIV/AIDS Collaborators and Mokdad 2017; GBD 2015 Eastern Mediterranean Region Intentional Injuries Collaborators and Mokdad 2017; GBD 2015 Eastern Mediterranean Region Mental Health Collaborators and Mokdad 2017). There is a risk that without urgent action, the health status of this region will only deteriorate further, with both regional and global consequences for health, social stability, and economic development.…”

ObjectivesThe 22 countries of the East Mediterranean Region (EMR) have large populations of adolescents aged 10–24 years. These adolescents are central to assuring the health, development, and peace of this region. We described their health needs.MethodsUsing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we report the leading causes of mortality and morbidity for adolescents in the EMR from 1990 to 2015. We also report the prevalence of key health risk behaviors and determinants.ResultsCommunicable diseases and the health consequences of natural disasters reduced substantially between 1990 and 2015. However, these gains have largely been offset by the health impacts of war and the emergence of non-communicable diseases (including mental health disorders), unintentional injury, and self-harm. Tobacco smoking and high body mass were common health risks amongst adolescents. Additionally, many EMR countries had high rates of adolescent pregnancy and unmet need for contraception.ConclusionsEven with the return of peace and security, adolescents will have a persisting poor health profile that will pose a barrier to socioeconomic growth and development of the EMR.
