Global burden and future projections of non-communicable diseases (2000-2050): Progress toward SDG 3.4 and disparities across regions and risk factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neoplasms, chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), and diabetes mellitus (DM), are the leading cause of death globally and a major health challenge, threatening Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.4 to reduce premature mortality by one-third by 2030. The study aimed to quantify the current and projected burden of these NCDs, assess disparities, and identify prevention opportunities.

Methods

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021 by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, the study analysed incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for CVDs, neoplasms, CRDs, and DM from 2000 to 2021, with projections to 2050. Trends were stratified by time,
