It is being reconfigured,” says epidemiologist Jue Liu of Peking University in Beijing. Liu’s team has used the latest data from the Global Burden of Disease study — a huge international programme that monitors health around the world — to track five major groups of infectious diseases between 2000 and 2023 in China1. They used two measures: incidence to track how often infections occur, and DALYs or disability-adjusted life-years, to track the impact of the diseases on premature death and disability.

Stomach and gut infections dropped sharply from 365 health years lost to 44 health years lost per 100,000 people.
