个人简介
Jha is a lead investigator of the Million Death Study in India, which quantifies the causes of premature mortality in over 23 million people from 1997-2023, including the contribution of key risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol. The Million Death Study has transformed public health in India, demonstrating for example that smoking already kills 1 million Indians a year (three times the number thought earlier), and that modest public health action has helped to avoid about 1 million child deaths from 2005 onwards. The Million Death Study also showed that snakebite deaths in India were the same total as had been estimated as worldwide totals. As a result, the World Health Organization has revised their global estimates and added snakebites to the Neglected Tropical Disease Initiative. The Million Death Study offers a simple, inexpensive method to obtain information on how people die and how to turn these data into powerful information that improves public health practice.
Professor Jha is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in global tobacco control. Unless there is widespread quitting, smoking will kill about 1 billion people in the 21st century. Jha has demonstrated the benefits of quitting smoking, especially before age 40. He is the author of several influential publications on tobacco control, including two that helped enable a global treaty on tobacco control, now signed by over 180 countries. His economics studies have established that globally, taxation is the single most effective intervention. These economics studies have been replicated in 30 countries, and paired with the epidemiological studies, should help many countries implement effective tobacco control, saving millions of lives.
