Global burden of male smoking-induced stroke, 1990-2021, and 20-year projections: an analysis of the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke represents the third most prevalent cause of mortality on a global scale. It is well-documented that smoking constitutes a significant risk factor for stroke, with males accounting for a higher proportion of the global smoking population than females. The present analysis thus focused on the global burden of stroke due to smoking in males over the period 1990-2021, with projections made for future trends in stroke due to smoking in males over the next 20 years.

Methods

Data concerning the burden of stroke attributable to male active smoking from 1990 to 2021 were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) platform. The mean annual percentage change (AAPC) and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in age-standardized rates (ASR) of stroke du
