Secular trends in the epidemiologic patterns of peripheral artery disease and risk factors in China from 1990 to 2019: Findings from the global burden of disease study 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An understanding of the epidemiologic patterns of peripheral artery disease is essential in public health policy-making. We aimed to assess secular trends in the epidemiologic patterns and risk factors of peripheral artery disease from 1990 to 2019 in China.

Materials and methods

We extracted data on prevalence, incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to peripheral artery disease from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. In addition, risk factors for peripheral artery disease were reported.

Results

The age-standardized prevalence of peripheral artery disease significantly increased from 1330.42 to 1423.78 per 100,000 population, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 0.16 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.07 to 0.24]
