As the world's population continues to rise, more children are surviving into adulthood, a new study finds, but rates of disability have increased as well.
Research published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics found that from 1990 to 2017, global child and adolescent deaths decreased 51.7%, while disability increased 4.7%. Additionally, there is a growing gap between young people's health outcomes between different countries. The study was part of the Global Burden of Disease report. In 2017, the most common killers of children and adolescents were diarrhea, acute malnutrition and lower respiratory tract infections.
As more children survive into adulthood, countries will have to meet the individual needs of their youngest citizens, the researchers say."All countries must make strategic investments in education and health systems, including human resources for health, supply chains, infrastructure, governance, and increased support for children with developmental disabilities."
