Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Lead exposure is an important risk factor for stroke. However, the latest global spatiotemporal patterns of lead exposure-related stroke burden were unclear. In this study, we assessed this topic.Methods
The data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study (2019). The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was estimated to evaluate the temporal trends of the age-standardized mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates (ASMR and ASDR) of stroke attributable to lead exposure.Results
In 2019, the numbers of global stroke deaths and DALYs attributable to lead exposure were 305.27 and 6738.78 thousand, respectively. The corresponding ASMR and ASDR were highest in males, the elderly population, low and middle-income countries, and the intracerebral hemorrhage subtype. From 1990 to 2019, the ASMR and ASDR of global stroke attributable to lead exposure decreased [ASMR: EAPC = -1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI): (-1.57, -1.10); ASDR: EAPC = -1.74, 95% CI: (-1.95, -1.52)], especially in females, the high-income countries, and the subarachnoid hemorrhage subtype.Conclusion
This study emphasizes the importance of continued implementation of lead exposure prevention strategies and improved high-efficiency treatment and stroke acute health care, especially in low and middle-income countries.

Project description:IntroductionGout is an inflammatory and metabolic disease characterized by arthritis and elevation of the serum uric acid (SUA) level. More and more studies have shown that high body mass index (BMI) has become one of the most important risk factors for gout.Material and methodsWe used the data of gout burden attributed to high body mass index (BMI) from global burden of disease (GBD) study 2019 to provide insights for reducing the global burden of gout.ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the prevalence and DALYs of gout caused by high BMI worldwide has been increasing. The burden of gout caused by high BMI is heavier in the elderly male group and regions with high SDI worldwide.ConclusionsOur findings provide evidence for the burden of gout caused by high BMI. Developing a weight management plan and lifestyle habits for groups severely affected by gout will effectively reduce the global disease and economic burden.

Project description:ObjectivesOccupational exposure to carcinogens is associated with trachea, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer. The objective of this study was to provide global and regional estimates of the burden of TBL cancer associated with occupational carcinogens (OCs) between 1990 and 2019.MethodsAge-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates (ASDR) of TBL cancer related to exposure to OCs at the global and regional levels were extracted for 1990-2019 from the Global Burden of Disease 2019. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze trends in the ASMR and ASDR of TBL cancer burden related to OCs, and the annual percent change and the average annual percent change (AAPC) were recorded.ResultsThe mortality from TBL cancer related to exposure to OCs increased globally. The ASMR and ASDR decreased in both sexes and in men between 1990 and 2019. The AAPC of ASMR and ASDR decreased in men between 1990 and 2019, but increased in women. Asbestos accounted for the highest death number and beryllium accounted for the lowest; diesel engine exhaust caused the largest percentage change in death number (145.3%), in ASDR (14.9%), and in all ages DALY rates (57.6%). Asbestos accounted for the largest death number in high social development index (SDI) countries, whereas low-middle SDI countries had the largest percent change (321.4%). Asbestos was associated with decreased ASDR in high SDI countries and increased ASDR in low-middle SDI countries, and similar changes were observed for other OCs.ConclusionsThe overall mortality and DALYs of TBL cancer burden related to OCs showed a decreasing trend between 1990 and 2019, whereas death number increased. Asbestos accounted for the highest death number. TBL cancer burden related to OCs decreased to different degrees in high, low, low-middle, and middle SDI countries, which showed variable levels of TBL cancer burden related to exposure to OCs (except asbestos).

Project description:BackgroundGlobal and national estimates on the epidemiology of aortic aneurysms are prerequisites for disease management and policymaking. Based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019, this study aimed to discern the global aortic aneurysm burden by systematically analyzing demographic data on mortality and exploring the attributable risks and relevant factors.MethodsThe data analyzed in this study were available in the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) online query tool. The population in our study comprised individuals from 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were performed to assess the temporal trends of aortic aneurysms and their attributable risks. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between the burden of aortic aneurysm and covariates.ResultsAlthough aortic aneurysm-related deaths (82.1%) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (67%) increased from 1990 to 2019, the global trend of age-standardized rate of death (ASRD) (EAPC: -1.34, 95% CI = -1.46 to -1.22, P < 0.001) and age-standardized rate of DALY (ASDALYR) (EAPC: -1.06, 95% CI = -1.17 to -0.95, P < 0.001) decreased, both of which presented age dependence and gender differences. Smoking and high systolic blood pressure (SBP) were the main attributable risks of disease burden and tend to decease globally (EAPC: -1.89, 95% CI = -2.03 to -1.89, P < 0.001; -1.31 95% CI = -1.43 to -1.19, P < 0.001, respectively). Alcohol abstinence (male: R = -0.71, P < 0.001; female: R = -0.73, P < 0.001), smoking age of initiation (male: R = -0.32, P < 0.001; female: R = -0.50, P < 0.001), physical activity (male: R = -0.50, P < 0.001; female: R = -0.55, P < 0.001), and mean temperature (R = -0.62, P < 0.001) had negative correlation with ASRD. However, cholesterol level (male: R = 0.62, P < 0.001; female: R = 0.39, P < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (male: R = 0.30, P < 0.001; female R = -0.01, P > 0.05), and alcohol consumption (male: R = 0.46, P < 0.001; female: R = 0.42, P < 0.001) had a positive correlation with ASRM. Besides, standard of living and medical resources positively related to burden of aortic aneurysm.ConclusionIn this study, a decreasing trend of aortic aneurysm burden was found globally, especially in advanced regions. Aged men who smoke and women who have hypertension should pay close attention to, particularly in deprived economic groups, and many approaches can be performed to reduce the burden of aortic aneurysms.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the pattern and trend of the atrial fibrillation (AF) burden are essential for developing effective preventive strategies. The purpose of this study was to estimate AF burdens and risk factors in 204 countries and territories between 1990 and 2019.Materials and methodsData were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2019, including incidence, death, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and the attributable risk factors. In order to quantify changes in the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR), and age-standardized DALY rate between 1990 and 2019, the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used. Also, AF burden was assessed in relation to the Socio-demographic Index (SDI).ResultsGlobally, there were 4,720,324 incident cases, 117,038 deaths and 8,393,635 DALYs in 2019. There were no significant changes in ASIR, ASDR, or age-standardized DALY rates from 1990 to 2019. Although the burden and trend of AF varied in different regions and countries, the ASIR, ASDR and age-standardized DALY rate were positively correlated with SDI. Furthermore, the burden of AF was higher in males and elderly. The age-standardized DALY rate worldwide was primarily attributable to high systolic blood pressure, followed by high body-mass index, alcohol use, smoking, diet high in sodium and lead exposure.ConclusionAF remained a major public health challenge worldwide, with substantial variation at regional and national levels. There is an urgent need to increase public awareness about AF risk factors and to bring about cost-effective interventions for AF in order to reduce its future burden.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study sought to analyze smoking prevalence and smoking-attributable mortality estimates produced by the 2017 Global Burden of Disease Study for Brazil, 26 states, and the Federal District.MethodsPrevalence of current smokers from 1990 to 2017 by sex and age was estimated using spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression. Population-attributable fractions were calculated for different risk-outcome pairs to generate estimates of smoking-attributable mortality. A cohort analysis of smoking prevalence by birth-year cohort was performed to better understand temporal age patterns in smoking. Smoking-attributable mortality rates were described and analyzed by development at state levels, using the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI). Finally, a decomposition analysis was conducted to evaluate the contribution of different factors to the changes in the number of deaths attributable to smoking between 1990 and 2017.ResultsBetween 1990 and 2017, prevalence of smoking in the population (≥ 20 years old) decreased from 35.3 to 11.3% in Brazil. This downward trend was seen for both sexes and in all states, with a marked reduction in exposure to this risk factor in younger cohorts. Smoking-attributable mortality rates decreased by 57.8% (95% UI - 61.2, - 54.1) between 1990 and 2017. Overall, larger reductions were observed in states with higher SDI (Pearson correlation 0.637; p < 0.01). In Brazil, smoking remains responsible for a considerable amount of deaths, especially due to cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms.ConclusionsBrazil has adopted a set of regulatory measures and implemented anti-tobacco policies that, along with improvements in socioeconomic conditions, have contributed to the results presented in the present study. Other regulatory measures need to be implemented to boost a reduction in smoking in order to reach the goals established in the scope of the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence for the trends and patterns of disease burden in North Korea is limited, and in-depth analysis based on several health outcomes for a better understanding remains challenging. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the trends and patterns of disease burden in North Korea between 1990 and 2019.MethodsWe used data from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2019 study to analyze the North Korean disease burden in comparison with four groups: global, South Korea, low-sociodemographic index (SDI) countries, Central and Eastern Europe, and Central Asia (former socialist countries). We also examined changes in the disease burden between 1990 and 2019 by disease category and age group.FindingsIn 2019, in North Korea, death rates and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates were reduced by 22.2% and 30.7%, respectively, compared to 1990. The rates showed similar trends and patterns to that in former socialist countries. However, these reductions were lower than those of the global rates and rates in low-SDI countries and South Korea. Death rates and DALY rates for under five years dramatically decreased by more than 78%, similar to the trend in South Korea. In contrast, the decline in the death rates and DALY rates of adults was less than those worldwide and in low-SDI countries and South Korea. The burden of diseases among those aged ≥30 years increased largely due to the persistently high burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, and chronic respiratory diseases were the leading causes of the disease burden in both 1990 and 2019.InterpretationNorth Korea's disease burden patterns and trends show clear improvements over the past 30 years but suggest that the current challenges of NCDs in the country are very serious. NCDs should be no longer neglected and should be prioritized in public health agendas in North Korea.

Project description:Objective: Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. This study aimed to analyze the burden and 30-year trends of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in China. Methods: Data that include incidence and mortality of stroke in China from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2019 were derived from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. The absolute numbers of incident cases and deaths over the time, and age-standardized rates per 100,000, such as age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), were analyzed. Results: In 2019, there were 3.9 (95% uncertainty intervals (UI) 3.4-4.5) million incident cases and 2.1 (3.4-4.5) million deaths related to stroke in China. The ASIR and ASMR of stroke in China was 200 (176-230) and 127 (110-144). From 1990 to 2019, the ASIR of ischemic stroke had increased by 35.0% (29.0-40.0) while the ASIR of ICH and SAH had decreased by -53.0% (-56.0 to -50.0) and by -39.0% (-44.0 to -35.0), respectively. The ASMR of ischemic stroke had increased by 3.0% (-26.0 to 16.0) while the ASMR of ICH and SAH had decreased by -48.0% (-59.0 to -38.0) and by -84.0% (-89.0 to -69.0), respectively. Conclusion: Although the incidence and mortality rates of stroke in China were decreased from 1990 to 2019, the number of incident cases and deaths nearly doubled. A sharp increase in the incidence rate of ischemic stroke was observed. A higher incidence rate of ischemic stroke in the women was also observed.

Project description:BackgroundExperimental and epidemiological studies indicate an association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. In view of the high and increasing prevalence of diabetes, we aimed to quantify the burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to PM2·5 originating from ambient and household air pollution.MethodsWe systematically compiled all relevant cohort and case-control studies assessing the effect of exposure to household and ambient fine particulate matter (PM2·5) air pollution on type 2 diabetes incidence and mortality. We derived an exposure-response curve from the extracted relative risk estimates using the MR-BRT (meta-regression-Bayesian, regularised, trimmed) tool. The estimated curve was linked to ambient and household PM2·5 exposures from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019, and estimates of the attributable burden (population attributable fractions and rates per 100 000 population of deaths and disability-adjusted life-years) for 204 countries from 1990 to 2019 were calculated. We also assessed the role of changes in exposure, population size, age, and type 2 diabetes incidence in the observed trend in PM2·5-attributable type 2 diabetes burden. All estimates are presented with 95% uncertainty intervals.FindingsIn 2019, approximately a fifth of the global burden of type 2 diabetes was attributable to PM2·5 exposure, with an estimated 3·78 (95% uncertainty interval 2·68-4·83) deaths per 100 000 population and 167 (117-223) disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) per 100 000 population. Approximately 13·4% (9·49-17·5) of deaths and 13·6% (9·73-17·9) of DALYs due to type 2 diabetes were contributed by ambient PM2·5, and 6·50% (4·22-9·53) of deaths and 5·92% (3·81-8·64) of DALYs by household air pollution. High burdens, in terms of numbers as well as rates, were estimated in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and South America. Since 1990, the attributable burden has increased by 50%, driven largely by population growth and ageing. Globally, the impact of reductions in household air pollution was largely offset by increased ambient PM2·5.InterpretationAir pollution is a major risk factor for diabetes. We estimated that about a fifth of the global burden of type 2 diabetes is attributable PM2·5 pollution. Air pollution mitigation therefore might have an essential role in reducing the global disease burden resulting from type 2 diabetes.FundingBill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Project description:Background: The global disease burden of gastric cancer (GC) is still heavy. Understanding the patterns and trends of the global GC burden is important for developing precise prevention strategies. Materials and Methods: The data of GC burden were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease Study (2019). The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to estimate the temporal trends of the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates (ASIR and ASMR) of global GC by age-specific groups (15-49, 50-69, and ≥70 years), sexes, socio-demographic indexes (SDIs), regions, and countries. Results: In 2019, the ASIR and ASMR of global GC increased with age in both sexes, and reached a peak in the older 70 age group. The ASIR and ASMR in males were higher than those in females. From 1990 to 2019, the global number of GC incident cases increased in both sexes in all age-specific groups; while the ASIR of GC decreased, and the most significant decrease was observed in the 50-69 age group [males: EAPC=-1.34, 95% CI: (-1.49, -1.18); females: EAPC= -2.09, 95% CI: (-2.22, -1.96)]. During the study period, downward trends in ASIR of GC were observed in both sexes in most SDI regions, GBD regions, and countries. Similar trends in ASMR of GC were also observed. Conclusion: The global GC incidence and mortality rates decreased from 1990 to 2019 in both sexes, most GBD regions, and most countries. However, the GC burden was still heavy in some GBD regions and countries in special age-specific groups. It is important to formulate and implement tertiary prevention strategies based on the GC burden of age-specific groups in different regions and countries.

Project description:BackgroundThe burden of breast cancer has been increasing globally. The epidemiology burden and trends need to be updated. This study aimed to update the burden and trends of breast cancer incidences, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2019, using the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study.MethodsThe data of incidences, deaths, DALYs, and age-standardized rates were extracted. Estimated annual percentage changes were used to quantify the trends of age-standardized rates. Besides, the population attributable fractions of the risk factors of breast cancer were also estimated.ResultsGlobally, the incidences of breast cancer increased to 2,002,354 in 2019. High social-development index (SDI) quintiles had the highest incidence cases with a declining trend in age-standardized incidence rate. In 2019, the global deaths and DALYs of breast cancer increased to 700,660 and 20,625,313, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized mortality rates and age-standardized DALY rates declined globally, especially in high and high-middle SDI quintiles. Besides, the trends varied from different regions and countries. The proportion of the patients in the 70+ years age group increased globally. Deaths of breast cancer attributable to high fasting plasma glucose and high body mass index increased globally, and high fasting plasma glucose was the greatest contributor to the global breast cancer deaths.ConclusionThe burden of breast cancer in higher SDI quintiles had gone down while the burden was still on the rise in lower SDI quintiles. It is necessary to appeal to the public to decrease the exposure of the risk factors.
