Contribution of non-communicable neurological disorders and neurological injuries to the total disease burden has more than doubled between 1990 and 2019.
Contribution of non-communicable neurological disorders and injury-related neurological disorder to the total disease burden has more than doubled between 1990 and 2019, noted the first comprehensive estimates of disease burden due to neurological disorders and their trends in every State of India published in The Lancet Global Health by the India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative and released here on Wednesday. Stroke caused 6,99,000 deaths in India in 2019, which was 7.4% of the total deaths in the country, it said. The burden of non-communicable neurological disorders was increasing in the country, mainly due to ageing of the population, the paper noted.More Related News
