Global, regional, and national epidemiology of ischemic heart disease among individuals aged 55 and above from 1990 to 2021: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The findings of the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study can offer valuable insights for the development of screening and prevention strategies targeting ischemic heart disease (IHD). We aim to investigate trends in IHD incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), while exploring associated risk factors for IHD-associated death from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

The cross-sectional study utilized data from the GBD 2021, covering 204 countries and regions. The analysis included individuals aged 55 and above. We analyzed the trends in IHD incidence, all cause and cause-specific deaths, DALYs, and corresponding estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) from 1990 to 2021. These indicators were further stratified by geographical region, country, age
