The global, regional, and national patterns of change in the burden of edentulism, 1990-2021: an analysis of the global burden of disease study 2021 and forecast to 2041.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Edentulism is a critical global health issue. It affects physical health and quality of life, and the associated healthcare costs pose a burden on individuals and society. Therefore, we analyzed the global burden of edentulism from 1990 to 2021 and projected trends from 2021 to 2041.

Methods

This study used publicly available data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). The paper reports prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) of edentulism per 100,000 population [with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI)] in 1990 vs. 2021, across all age groups (0-95 + years). It details changing trends from 1990 to 2021 by gender, age, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Trends were assessed using joinpoint regression. Nordp
