“The awe-inspiring research being done every day at the 91探花 aims to create change and make the world a better place,” 91探花President said. “This recognition of so many of our faculty members as being among the world’s most influential minds is not surprising, but does serve as a reminder of the global impact of their innovative research and scholarship.”

The report also includes three 91探花scientists from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and the Department of Global Health 鈥� , and 鈥� among 2015’s “hottest researchers,” scientists who had each produced over a dozen highly cited papers since 2012. Only the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard had more researchers on this list.

“This recognition is an honor. It is also a testament to our dedicated team here at IHME and to our collaborators around the world involved in the global burden of disease,” said IHME director Murray, who also co-founded the Global Burden of Disease approach to public health to evaluate and quantify health losses due to disease, injury and risk factors. “Their hard work is advancing our mission to improve health through better evidence.”

Thompson Reuters chose to focus on these authors of “hot papers” because, the report noted, “authors who are prolific in ‘hot papers’ are clearly producing work that is influential and useful,” as judged by their peers. Most of the 19 scientists with this high distinction work in emerging fields such as cancer genomics, renewable energy and materials science.

“Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a new advancement in health. As our work continues to influence health policy and strategy across the world, we hope to continue to see improvements,” said Vos, who has worked to improve Global Burden of Disease methodology, modeling, data acquisition and analysis. “With this recognition of IHME鈥檚 scientific work and the impact of our global expertise on this matter, it is highly encouraging聽to see health metrics rise in prominence as a field.”

Murray had 22 highly cited papers between 2012 and 2014, while Vos had 16 and Naghavi had 15.

“Each year, millions of lives are cut short by preventable disease and unnecessary burden, and we aim to lower those numbers through better health evidence. This ranking reflects the impact of the Global Burden of Disease network, which has grown to more than 1,500 researchers in 120 countries,” said Naghavi, who heads the IHME’s efforts to analyze cause of death, cancer and tropical diseases globally. “We look forward to the network’s continued expansion, specialization and achievement.”

In addition to this top list of “hottest researchers,” the report includes over 3,000 scientists from institutions around the world who published papers between 2003 and 2013 that were highly cited by their peers in fields, ranging from physical and social sciences to medicine and economics. The analysis, produced by the wing of Thomson Reuters, made use of data sets tracking research paper citations, such as .

The study, 鈥�,鈥� was published January 8 in the Journal of the American Medical Association in a special issue devoted to tobacco.

Overall, age-standardized smoking prevalence decreased by 42% for women and 25% for men between 1980 and 2012. Four countries鈥擟anada, Iceland, Mexico, and Norway鈥攈ave reduced smoking by more than half in both men and women since 1980.

But substantial population growth between 1980 and 2012 contributed to a 41% increase in the number of male daily smokers and a 7% increase for females. In 2012, smoking prevalence among men was higher than for women in all countries except Sweden. More than 50% of men smoke every day in several countries, including Russia, Indonesia, Armenia, and Timor Leste. Smoking prevalence for women was above 25% in Austria, Chile, and France and higher than 30% in Greece, among the highest percentages in the world. The lowest smoking rates for men can be found in Antigua and Barbuda, Sao Tome and Principe, and Nigeria. For women, smoking rates are lowest in Eritrea, Cameroon, and Morocco.

These differences persist despite decades of strong tobacco control measures globally. Fifty years ago, the first U.S. Surgeon General鈥檚 report was issued on the health impact of smoking, The report spurred research on tobacco and investments by governments and nonprofit agencies to reduce tobacco prevalence and cigarette consumption. In 2003, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was adopted by the World Health Assembly and has since been ratified by 177 countries.

鈥淒espite the tremendous progress made on tobacco control, much more remains to be done,鈥� said Dr. Christopher Murray, 91探花professor of global health and director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. 鈥淲e have the legal means to support tobacco control. Where we see progress being made we need to look for ways to accelerate that progress. Where we see stagnation, we need to find out what鈥檚 going wrong.鈥�

According to the most recent figures from the , coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, tobacco use led to 5.7 million deaths, 6.9% of years of life lost, and 5.5% of total health loss around the world. These estimates exclude health effects from secondhand smoke.

The Institute based its estimates on a wide range of data sources, including in-country surveys, government statistics, and World Health Organization data. Previous estimates typically have used fewer data sources.

The greatest health risks for both men and women are likely to occur in countries where smoking is pervasive and where smokers consume a large quantity of cigarettes. These countries include China, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, South Korea, the Philippines, Uruguay, Switzerland, and several countries in Eastern Europe. The number of cigarettes smoked around the world has grown to more than 6 trillion. In 75 countries, smokers consumed an average of more than 20 cigarettes per day in 2012.

鈥淭obacco control is particularly urgent in countries where the number of smokers is increasing,鈥� said Alan Lopez, Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. 鈥淏ecause we know that half of all smokers will eventually be killed by tobacco, greater numbers of smokers will mean a massive increase in premature deaths in our lifetime.鈥�

There have been three phases of global progress in reducing the age-standardized prevalence of smokers: modest progress from 1980 to 1996, followed by a decade of more rapid global progress, then a slowdown in reductions from 2006 to 2012. This was in part due to increases in the number of smokers since 2006 in several large countries, including Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, and Russia.

Annualized rate of change captures the relative reduction in smoking prevalence, and several countries had notable declines of 2% or more between 1980 and 2012. For men, annualized rates of decline of 2% or more occurred in 17 countries, with the greatest rates of decline observed in Canada, Iceland, Mexico, Norway, and Sweden. For women, annualized rates of decline greater than 2% were achieved in 22 countries. Bolivia, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Sweden, and the United States all had prevalence rates in 1980 higher than 20%, but achieved annualized rates of decline of greater than 2%. In a disturbing trend, Austria, Bulgaria, and Greece all had prevalence rates greater than 20% in 1980 and have shown statistically significant increases since then.

鈥淐hange in tobacco prevalence typically has been slow, underscoring what a hard habit it is to break,鈥� said Emmanuela Gakidou, 91探花professor of global health and director of education and training at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. 鈥淏ut we know from these global trends that rapid progress is possible. If more countries were able to repeat the success we have seen in Norway, Mexico, and the United States, we would see much less health loss from smoking.鈥�

Which countries had the highest and lowest smoking prevalence for men in 2012?

Which countries had the highest and lowest smoking prevalence for women in 2012?

Which countries where smoking prevalence was greater than 20% in 1980 had the fastest declines and the biggest annual increases between 1980 and 2012?

In terms of number of cigarettes, which countries with populations greater than 1 million had the highest and lowest average consumption per smoker per day in 2012?

鈥淕lobally, there has been significant progress in combating the deadly toll of tobacco use,鈥� said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids in response to the paper. 鈥淭hese findings demonstrate both that where countries take strong action, tobacco use can be dramatically reduced and the devastating consequences when countries do not fully adopt and implement effective tobacco control measures.鈥�
