Key Points

  • Hypertensive heart disease prevalence rises significantly due to high BMI, affecting primarily older men.
  • Projected decreases in prevalence by 2035 are minor, with continuing obesity concerns prevalent.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Global population analyzed in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study for hypertensive heart disease (HHD) due to high BMI
O
Outcome
Hypertensive heart disease burden and prevalence trends due to high BMI

Rising obesity continues to drive a significant global burden of hypertensive heart disease, highlighting the need for ongoing public health interventions.

Abstract

High BMI intensifies HHD prevalence, particularly among men and older adults. Despite projected minor decreases by 2035, rising obesity underscores the ongoing need for public health interventions.
