Resource-abundant regions achieved a reduction in age-standardized death rates by 3.43% annually, attributed to effective management of metabolic risk factors such as high SBP and LDLc.
While global age-standardized IHD mortality has declined overall, resource-limited regions and younger populations face an increasing burden driven by rising fasting plasma glucose and BMI.
Effect estimate: EAPC -3.43 (95% CI -3.53 to -3.32)
Regional disparities in IHD burden persist, primarily driven by metabolic risk factors. Resource-abundant regions have benefitted from effective control of SBP and LDLc, whereas resource-limited regions face growing challenges, especially related to FPG and BMI. The use of secondary data from the GBD 2021 database provides a comprehensive global perspective but may not fully capture local variations in disease burden. Targeted public health strategies and early interventions are essential to reduce the growing IHD burden in these vulnerable populations.
Wang et al. (Fri,) conducted a other in Ischemic heart disease. metabolic risk factors management vs. resource-limited regions was evaluated on Age-standardized death rates (EAPC -3.43, 95% CI -3.53 to -3.32). Resource-abundant regions achieved a reduction in age-standardized death rates by 3.43% annually, attributed to effective management of metabolic risk factors such as high SBP and LDLc.
