Implication
Guides global CVD prevention priorities through 2022; extends prior burden estimates with updated risk factor trends.
Key Points
- To quantify the global, regional, and temporal burden of 18 cardiovascular diseases and evaluate the health loss attributable to 15 modifiable risk factors from 1990 to 2022.
- Conducted a multinational time-series estimation compliant with GATHER guidelines using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study framework.
- Calculated prevalence, cause-specific mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across mutually exclusive disease categories.
- Assessed comparative health loss attributable to 15 risk factors, including aggregate dietary risks, across standardized geographic regions.
- Provides comprehensive regional and global metrics tracking the distribution and impact of 18 cardiovascular diseases over a 32-year evaluation period.
- Establishes time trends for cardiovascular mortality and disability burdens attributable to 15 major risk exposures across global health systems.
