Global, regional and national burden of ischaemic heart disease attributable to high body mass index and low physical activity from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study aimed to estimate the distribution of and changes in the global burden of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) attributable to high body mass index (BMI) and low physical activity (PA) from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

Data on deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and age-standardized rates for IHD attributable to high BMI and low PA were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study. Temporal trends by gender, region and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) were analysed using joinpoint regression. Decomposition, health inequality analysis and Bayesian model were utilized.

Results

From 1990 to 2021, global DALYs and deaths for IHD attributable to high BMI and low PA nearly doubled, despite a decline in age-standardized DALYs ([average annual percent chang
