Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”

On the selection of constitutive equation for modeling the friction stir processes of twin roll cast wrought AZ31B by Ammouri, A.H.

“…Proper numerical modeling of the Friction Stir Processes (FSPs) requires the identification of a suitable constitutive equation which accurately describes the stress-strain material behavior under an applicable range of strains, strain rates, and temperatures. While some such equations may be perfectly suitable to simulate processes characterized by low (or high) strains and temperatures, FSPs are widely recognized for their relatively moderate ranges of such state variables. …”
