Burden of heart failure attributable to chronic kidney disease in older adults (1990-2021): an analysis from the global burden of disease study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a critical global health issue, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a significant contributing factor. Both primarily affect older adults, with prevalence rising substantially after age 60. This study examined global trends and disparities in CKD-associated HF among older adults from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021, the study analyzed the prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of CKD-associated HF. Joinpoint regression assessed trends from 1990 to 2021 globally, regionally, and nationally. Health inequity analysis, including the slope index of inequality and health inequality concentration index, evaluated disparities across countries.

Results

From 1990 to 2021, the prevalen
