Temporal trends in heart failure burden among young adults in China: a systematic analysis from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies from several countries have reported an increasing trend in heart failure (HF) among young adults, but comprehensive data on HF burden among young Chinese adults are lacking.

Methods

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we analyzed trends in prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of HF among Chinese adults aged 20-49 years from 1990 to 2021. We examined age-standardized rates per 100,000 population, stratified by age groups, sex, severity levels, and underlying causes. Joinpoint regression, age-period-cohort analysis, decomposition analysis, frontier analysis and projection models were applied.

Results

From 1990 to 2021, HF prevalence cases increased from 448,261.89 to 897,595.61, while YLDs rose from 44,025.76 to 88,4
