Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally, with low physical activity (LPA) as a significant modifiable risk factor. The prevalence of LPA remains high, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of its impact on CVD.
Methods and results: We applied Joinpoint regression to assess trends in deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and employed autoregressive integrated moving average models to project future LPA-related burdens. From 1990 to 2021, CVD-related deaths due to LPA rose from 218 938 to 371 736 globally, with the most significant increases in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. DALYs surged from 4.47 million to 7.29 million. Although age-standardized death rates showed a slight decline in high-income countries (-2.27% EAPC), lower-income regions experienced a steady rise. YLDs grew from 344 680 to 725 181, while YLLs increased from 4.13 million to 6.57 million, with older adults (75+ years) carrying the highest burden.
Conclusion: The growing burden of CVD linked to LPA highlights the urgent need for interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, to reduce future risks and improve public health outcomes.
期刊介绍:
European Heart Journal - Quality of Care & Clinical Outcomes is an English language, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing cardiovascular outcomes research. It serves as an official journal of the European Society of Cardiology and maintains a close alliance with the European Heart Health Institute. The journal disseminates original research and topical reviews contributed by health scientists globally, with a focus on the quality of care and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes at the hospital, national, and international levels. It provides a platform for presenting the most outstanding cardiovascular outcomes research to influence cardiovascular public health policy on a global scale. Additionally, the journal aims to motivate young investigators and foster the growth of the outcomes research community.
