Global trends of cardiovascular disease burden attributable to high body mass index from 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2035.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and disability globally, with high body mass index (HBMI) playing a pivotal role in its worldwide burden. Gaining a clear understanding and forecasting the effect of HBMI on CVD is crucial for developing effective health policies and interventions.

Methods

We used data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease study to analyze the CVD burden attributable to HBMI. An age-period-cohort (APC) analysis was conducted to investigate trends in CVD-related mortality attributable to HBMI, whereas the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model projected the number of deaths and mortality up to 2035.

Results

The study revealed a significant increase in CVD deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) d
