Global, regional, and national burden of ovarian cancer attributable to high body mass index, 1990-2021: insights from the global burden of disease study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Building on established evidence linking excess body fatness to increased risk of ovarian cancer, this research aims to assess the global and regional disease burden of ovarian cancer attributable to high body mass index (BMI) from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Here, we specifically focus on quantifying trends in age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rates (ASDR) to elucidate evolving epidemiological patterns and regional disparities.

Methods

Comprehensive data were extracted from the GBD 2021 database to analyze trends in ASMR, ASDR, absolute deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high BMI-related ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021, stratified by
