Global burden and health inequality of nutritional deficiencies from 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nutritional deficiencies (NDs) manifest in various forms and are widespread globally. However, a systematic evaluation of the epidemiology of NDs across all causes and age groups in different countries and regions has not been conducted.

Materials and methods

This study aimed to utilize data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study to assess the burden and trends of NDs, including their incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Additionally, the study evaluated health inequalities at global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2019.

Result

In 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate of NDs was 2,207.71 per 100,000 individuals (95% UI 1,863.04-2,604.67), and the age-standardized DALYs (ASR-DALYs) was 68
