Global burden of anemia attributable to non-communicable diseases: GBD 2021 analysis and projections.

ABSTRACT: Anemia is a significant global health issue affecting approximately one-third of the world's population. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to anemia, particularly in populations with high prevalence of these conditions. Globally, the prevalence of anemia caused by NCDs has increased significantly from 249.1 million to 368.4 million, representing a 48% increase since 1990. A similar trend can be observed in YLDs. The burden was expected to continue to grow in the next 20 years. The curves of anemia-related burden showed an intersection for different genders around the age of children under five and women of reproductive age, beyond which women exhibit a higher burden
