Key result
Ischemic heart disease remains China's leading disease burden, with sex-specific patterns in death versus disability.
Why the study?
Despite reductions in premature death from ischemic heart disease, related disabilities remain a significant challenge, especially among older adults and females, highlighting the need for strengthened prevention and control programs.
Observational
Despite reductions in premature death from IHD in China, the disability burden remains high, highlighting the need for targeted prevention of modifiable risk factors.
Despite the fact that burden on IHD-caused premature death had been reducing, related disabilities remain challenging with IHD the leading cause of burden, particularly in the ≥70 year-olds. Higher IHD burden from premature death was seen in males but disability appeared higher in females. It is significantly important to strengthen programs on prevention and control for hypertension including reducing modifiable risk factors such as smoking, unreasonable diet habits.

Wang et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Ischemic heart disease. Epidemiological risk factors was evaluated on Burden of ischemic heart disease (premature death and disability). Ischemic heart disease remained the leading cause of disease burden in China from 1990 to 2017, with premature death burden higher in males and disability burden higher in females.
