Overview

Systematic analysis reveals disparities in high systolic blood pressure burden across demographics, indicating significant health system impacts.

Key Points

  • The global burden of high systolic blood pressure has significantly increased, with notable rises in disability-adjusted life-years and deaths.
  • DALYs related to high systolic blood pressure increased by 58.4% since 1990, totaling 226 million, while deaths rose by 65.3% to 11 million in 2021.
  • This systematic analysis utilized global data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study to assess health inequalities across various demographics and regions.
  • Regions with advanced health systems showed declines in the burden of high systolic blood pressure, indicating the importance of healthcare quality.
