Global stroke burden attributable to household air pollution: Insights from GBD 2021 and projections to 2040.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To analyze the global stroke burden attributable to household air pollution (HAP) using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, examine its spatiotemporal patterns from 1990-2021, and project future trends through 2040.

Study design

Retrospective analysis using GBD data with future projections.

Methods

Analysis of age-standardized rates, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) due to HAP-related stroke across 204 countries. The linear regression model examined global time trends. Cluster analysis investigated the patterns of disease burden changes across GBD regions. The Nordpred model projected trends up to 2040.

Results

In 2021, HAP caused 1.23 million stroke deaths and 26.
