Temporal trends in inequalities of the burden of cardiovascular disease across 186 countries and territories.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The extent to which CVD affects the population's health varies across countries. Moreover, quantitative estimates of the trend of inequalities in CVD burden remain unclear. The objective of our study was to assess the socioeconomic inequalities and temporal trends of CVD burden across 186 countries and territories from 2000 to 2019.

Methods

We extracted data from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, and conducted a cross-national time-series analysis. Age-standardized disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) rates were used to measure the burden of CVDs, and gross national income (GNI) per capita was used to approximate the socioeconomic developme
