Global burden of stroke attributable to air pollution (1990-2021): An analysis of GBD 2021 data.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to quantify the global burden of stroke attributable to air pollution and assess associated health disparities by region, gender, and socio-demographic index using 2021 Global Burden of Disease data. We conducted a systematic analysis of the 2021 Global Burden of Disease database, employing Joinpoint regression, decomposition analysis, and health inequality analysis to evaluate air pollution's impact on stroke mortality and disability-adjusted life years. Analyses were stratified by nationality, region, gender, and socio-demographic index to identify health disparities. The study findings demonstrate a substantial increase in the global absolute burden of stroke attributable to air pollution from 1991 to 2021, with stroke-related mortality reaching 44,962,167 cases (95% unc
