Burden of chronic respiratory diseases and their attributable risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2021: Results from the global burden of disease study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) remain a substantial global public health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize trends in CRD burden across various populations by examining differences by sex, age, and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Methods

We performed a systematic analysis using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study, covering the period from 1990 to 2021 across 204 countries and territories. Estimates of age-standardized prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), incidence, and annualized percentage changes for both 1990-2021 and 2019-2021 were calculated. Geographic and demographic variations were evaluated by age, sex, and SDI. The co
