Burden, risk factors, and projections of ischemic heart disease in China (1990-2021): findings from the 2021 GBD study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major public health challenge in China. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the burden of IHD, its risk factors, and future trends from 1990 to 2021 using the Global Burden of Disease database.

Methods

We assessed IHD trends in incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) stratified by age (greater than 15 years) and gender. Age-standardized rates, average annual percentage changes, and joinpoint regression analyses were used to evaluate temporal trends. Decomposition and frontier analyses were conducted to identify key contributors to the IHD burden, while future projections were generated for the next 15 years.

Results

In 2021, the number of IHD incident cases, prevalent cases,
