The global death and disability burden associated with a high BMI in children and adolescents, 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Exploring changing trends in the burden caused by overweight and obesity among children and adolescents from 1990 to 2019 at the global, regional, and national levels, based on data from the Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) 2019.

Methods

The annual number and rate of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with a high BMI among children and adolescents at global, regional, and national levels by age groups, sexes, and the sociodemographic index from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the GBD study 2019. Change percentage for number, and the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) for rate were calculated to determine the temporal trends.

Results

From 1990 to 2019, global high BMI-related deaths decreased by 34% but DALYs increased
