Key result
Population aging and adverse trends in metabolic risk factors drove a considerable increase in the burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in China from 1990 to 2019.
The burden of ASCVD in China has increased considerably from 1990 to 2019, driven primarily by an aging population and worsening metabolic risk factors.
Metabolic risks warrant continued focus in China despite aging-driven ASCVD rise; leaves open intervention priorities and generalizability.
Aging population seems responsible for the main reason for the considerable increase in the burden of ASCVD in China. Still, the adverse trends of other avoidable risk factors, especially metabolic risk factors, can not be ignored.
