Implication

Systematic analysis demonstrates that COVID-19 disrupted global health gains and became the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years in 2021, highlighting the need for pandemic preparedness.

Key Points

COVID-19 emerged as the leading global contributor to disease burden in 2021, causing substantial increases in disability-adjusted life-years.
Global disability-adjusted life-years reached 2.88 billion in 2021, while healthy life expectancy dropped by 2.2% between 2019 and 2021.
Systematic analysis of 100,983 sources quantified years lived with disability and age-standardised rates across 371 diseases and injuries.
Findings highlight ongoing epidemiological transitions toward non-communicable conditions, calling for sustained investments in health systems.
