About the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project

The WHO in collaboration with several research organizations including Harvard and John Hopkins have published a series of studies showing that musculoskeletal disorders are the number-one cause of disability worldwide with low back disorders #1 and neck disorders #4.
These studies provide indisputable evidence that musculoskeletal conditions are an enormous problem in all parts of the world and need to be given the same priority for policy and resources as other major conditions like cancer, mental health and cardiovascular disease.
