Global and Regional Patterns in Edentulism (1990-2021) With Predictions to 2040.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Edentulism's impact on overall well-being is widely recognized, but there is limited information on regional and sex disparities in its global burden. This study aims to fill this gap by providing an updated picture of edentulism's burden by region and sex and predicting its global trend for the next 2 decades.

Methods

This study analyzed and reported Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data on the prevalence, incidence, and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) of edentulism, with a breakdown by sex and sociodemographic index (SDI). Epidemiological trends from 1990 to 2021 were characterized using Joinpoint regression analysis. An Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was used to forecast edentulism prevalence trends from 2022 to 2040.
