Abstract
Background
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) posed the highest global disease burden in 2021, with regional disparities in Asia. Moreover, climate change is exacerbating population exposure to high temperatures (Hi-Tem).
Objectives
This study aimed to systematically assess the burden of IHD attributed to Hi-Tem in Asia, considering geographic and demographic factors.
Methods
The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 tools evaluated the IHD burden from Hi-Tem in Asia, and decomposition analysis was conducted to further explore the potential burden drivers.
Results
Asia witnessed a significant increase in IHD burden caused by Hi-Tem, with 88,450 (95% UI: 15,815-188,816) deaths and 2,112,025.42 (95% UI: 456,758.65-4,325,643.47) disability-adjusted life years in 2021. Over the past 3 decades, the burden increased annually by 1.63% (95% CI: 1.25%-2.01%) in age-standardized mortality rate and by 1.60% (95% CI: 1.21%-1.99%) in age-standardized rate of disability-adjusted life years. Notably, South Asia bore the heaviest burden, whereas high-income Asia Pacific had the lightest. Men and older persons consistently faced a higher IHD burden from Hi-Tem. Despite generally balanced contributions from population growth, aging, and epidemiological changes, regional disparities may persist.
Conclusions
Our study provides a comprehensive overview of the demographic and geographic characteristics of the IHD burden attributable to Hi-Tem in Asia from 1990 to 2021. In summary, Asia's IHD burden caused by Hi-Tem rose significantly, with the greater impact on men and older populations.
