Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes in women of childbearing age, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis from the global burden of disease study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Diabetes may have long-term adverse health effects on both women of childbearing age (WCBA) and their future generations. The objective of this study is to provide up-to-date epidemiologic information on the global burden of diabetes in WCBA to inform the development of targeted public health policies.

Methods

The data on the burden of diabetes among WCBA from 1990 to 2021 at the global, regional, and national levels were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and Bayesian age-period-cohort models were used to assess and predict time burden trends. The slope index and concentration index were used to assess health inequalities associated with the sociodemographic index (SDI).
