The global burden of disease attributable to metabolic risks in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019
Authors' conclusion
The burden of disease attributed to MRs has continued to rise in the past 30 years, particularly for men and low-middle SDI regions. Therefore, the government should take corresponding actions to reduce the impact of MRs on population health.
Study context
- Population
- Global population, burden of disease attributed to metabolic risks (MRs) and secondary MR, 1990–2019
- Outcome
- Number, age-standardised rate and population attributable fraction of deaths and DALYs related to MRs and secondary MR
- Follow-up
- 1990 to 2019
Methodological detailsglobal, by gender, age, region, country, disease and Socio-demographic Index level, 1990–2019
- Global, by gender, age, region, country, disease and Socio-demographic Index level
- 1990–2019
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
2019
- Number of deaths caused by MRs in 2019 (million)
- 18.6
- Number of DALYs caused by MRs in 2019 (million)
- 462.8
- Increase in number of deaths since 1990
- 43.6 %
- Increase in number of DALYs since 1990
- 75.0 %
- Decrease in ASR of deaths attributed to MRs since 1990
- 23.3 %
- Decrease in ASR of DALYs attributed to MRs since 1990
- 17.0 %
Further findings
Burden by age, region and disease
- Burden caused by MRs and secondary MR rose with age
- Burden heaviest in low- and middle-income countries, especially Middle East & North Africa
- Heaviest MR-attributed burden in ischemic heart disease, followed by stroke
