Key result
Low-fiber diets linked to rising global ischemic stroke burden, driven largely by aging.
Why the study?
The global disease burden of ischemic stroke attributed to low-fiber diets and its trends, disparities, and influencing factors were not fully characterized from 1990 to 2021.
What are the global trends, disparities, and future projections of ischemic stroke burden attributed to low-fiber diets?

What are the global trends, disparities, and future projections of ischemic stroke burden attributed to low-fiber diets?
The global burden of ischemic stroke attributed to low-fiber diets has steadily increased from 1990 to 2021, underscoring the urgent need for targeted dietary public health interventions.
Alerts clinicians to rising ischemic stroke burden from low-fiber diets in males; extends global estimates but leaves open causal dietary interventions.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze the disease burden attributed to ischemic stroke related to low-fiber diets (IFD-IS) from 1990 to 2021, utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database to identify trends and influencing factors of the disease burden. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the number of deaths, Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Years of Life Lost (YLLs), and Years Lost due to Disability (YLDs) associated with IFD-IS, covering various regions and populations. Statistical methods, including breakpoint regression, decomposition analysis, health inequality analysis, and forecasting analysis, were employed to assess trends and their correlation with the Sociodemographic Index (SDI). RESULTS: The findings indicate that deaths, DALYs, YLLs, and YLDs related to IFD-IS have gradually increased globally, with a significantly higher burden in males compared to females. Notable regional disparities were observed, particularly with heavier burdens in China and sub-Saharan Africa. Higher SDI regions demonstrated better control over disease burdens, while aging and population growth were the primary factors contributing to the increase. Additionally, the trend of health inequality related to IFD-IS has slightly diminished, although it is projected that the disease burden will continue to rise by 2040. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the necessity of implementing targeted public health interventions for IFD-IS, particularly in low SDI regions. Enhancing dietary education and resource allocation can significantly mitigate the rising trend of IFD-IS. Ongoing monitoring and research are crucial for formulating effective health policies to address this public health challenge.

Gao et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Ischemic stroke related to low-fiber diets (IFD-IS). Low-fiber diets was evaluated on Number of deaths, Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), Years of Life Lost (YLLs), and Years Lost due to Disability (YLDs). The global burden of ischemic stroke attributed to low-fiber diets gradually increased from 1990 to 2021, driven primarily by aging and population growth, with higher burdens in males and lower SDI regions.
