Deaths and disability-adjusted life years of hypertension in China, South Korea, and Japan: A trend over the past 29 years.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension has been confirmed as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death. Few data were analyzed on deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by hypertension in East Asia. We aimed to provide an overview of burden attributable to high blood pressure in China in the past 29 years, compared with those in Japan and South Korea.

Methods

Data were collected from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study on diseases due to high systolic blood pressure (SBP). We retrieved the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and DALYs rate (ASDR) by gender, age, location, and sociodemographic index. The death and DALY trends were evaluated by estimated annual percentage change, with 95% confidence interval.

Findings
