New Delhi, 24 September (IANS). The cause of one in three deaths worldwide in 2023 was Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This claim is being made on the basis of a study.
The study has shown that the number of deaths occurring from CVD (mechanism related to heart and blood arteries) worldwide has increased rapidly. In 1990, where this number was 13.1 million, it increased to 19.2 million in 2023.
CVD has also increased due to mortality growth, old age, obesity and diabetes, as the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies and a report published in JACC on Wednesday.
In 2023, the estimated 240 million people were affected by the ischemic heart disease, while 122 million people were affected by the disease of the lower limbs (lower extramity peripral artial disease); Stroke remains a major cause of death and disability.
In most areas, men in men were higher than that of heart disease, and the risk increased after the age of 50 years.
Between 2018 and 2023, ‘High Body Mass Index’ and ‘High Fasting Plasma Glucose’ were the fastest growing metabolic factors.
Professor Gregory A. in the Department of Cardiology of Washington University. Roth said, “Our analysis indicates a wide geographical difference in the burden of heart disease that cannot be explained only from income level. Given this type of variation, we believe that it is necessary to work on certain health policies on the local level (a certain population).”
Researchers estimated the burden of 376 diseases including heart disease from 1990 to 2023 using all available data and statistical models.
Heart disease disability-appointed life year (DALY) and globally remained the main cause of estimated death in GBD. In 2023, 437 million heart disease was DALY, with the lowest and highest heart disease between countries with DALY rate.
This is 1.4 times the 1990’s 320 million CVD Dillies.
The important thing is that in 2023 globally, the cause of all CVD delicies was 79.6 percent convertible risk factor, which has increased by 97.4 million globally since 1990, mainly due to population growth and old age.
