Burden of cardiovascular disease among elderly: based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The burden of elderly cardiovascular disease (CVD) has received increasing attention with population ageing worldwide.

Aims

We reported on the global CVD burden in elderly individuals over 70, 1990-2019.

Methods and results

Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, elderly CVD burden data were analysed. Temporal burden trends were analysed with the joinpoint model. The slope index and concentration index were used to evaluate health inequality. From 1990 to 2019, the global elderly CVD incidence, prevalence, death, and disability-adjusted life year rates generally decreased. However, the current burden remains high. The rapid growth in burden in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia is a cause for concern. Countries with a higher socio-demographic in
