Aortic aneurysm trends attributable to high body mass index over the period 1990-2021 and projections up to 2040.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity is a significant health issue globally, which can exacerbate aortic aneurysm (AA) diseases. AA is a type of cardiac aneurysm. As notable members of emerging economies, the BRICS nations collectively account for nearly 40% of the world's population and generate approximately 25% of global GDP. The health systems of the BRICS countries are an important part of the global health system. The health system situation of the BRICS countries can to a large extent reflect the overall situation of the world's health system. Understanding the impact trends of obesity in the BRICS countries (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa) is crucial due to their unique economic conditions and social backgrounds.
