Analysis of gender- and age-stratified asthma burden: forecasting prevalence trends in 2030.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asthma poses a global health challenge, requiring an understanding of its burden to guide policy. Using GBD 2021 data, this study aims to assess the burden of asthma worldwide.

Methods

We extracted data on asthma prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from GBD for the period 1990-2021. Age-standardized rates (ASR) and estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) were calculated to understand trends. We analyzed variations in asthma burden across gender and age groups, and explored the correlation between socio-demographic index (SDI) and asthma burden. Furthermore, we examined the main risk factors contributing to asthma. Lastly, we predicted the future asthma burden over the next 8 years.
