Global, regional, and national burdens of rheumatoid arthritis in young adults from 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Our aim was to analyze the regional and national levels of the global burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) among young adults (aged 15-49) in order to identify long-term trends.

Material and methods

The data for this study were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, which assessed 369 diseases and injuries as well as 87 risk factors in 204 countries and 21 regions. To evaluate a nation's level of development, a composite statistic called the socio-demographic index (SDI) was utilized. We analyzed the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) related to RA in individuals in young adults. Additionally, we estimated the annual percentage changes (EAPCs) for the aforementioned parameters.
