ABSTRACT:

Objective

To deeply analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the disease burden of hypertension and its related damages among adolescents and young adults aged 15-39 globally from 1990 to 2021, and predict the trends until 2050, providing key evidence for formulating global public health strategies.
