An analysis of trends in the burden of ischemic stroke caused by air pollution in China between 1990 and 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluates the burden of ischemic stroke attributable to air pollution in China from 1990 to 2021, examines gender and age-specific differences, and projects future disease burden trends from 2022 to 2036. By analyzing the impact of air pollution on ischemic stroke, this study aims to provide insights for public health policies and preventive measures.

Methods

Utilizing data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, this research examined the ischemic stroke burden associated with air pollution in China. To assess historical trends and project disease burden from 2022 to 2036, Joinpoint regression modeling and decomposition analysis were employed. These methods allow for identifying significant trend changes and disentangling the contributions
