Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the health and economic burdens of hypertensive heart disease (HHD) caused by non-optimal temperature and lead exposure. Health burden data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease 2021. Globally, time trends, sex, and age differences in health burden were described. Restricted cubic spline and quantile regression were utilized to examine the correlation between the sociodemographic index and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) or age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rate. A Bayesian age-period-cohort model was utilized for the projection of ASMR. We calculated the economic burden of the 50 most populous countries. From 1990 to 2021, the global health burden from lead exposure and low temperatures decreased but increased with high temperatures. The highest age-specific mortality occurred among those aged ≥ 95 years. The total economic costs of HHD caused by lead exposure were US$12.32 billion, versus US$5.91 billion for non-optimal temperatures across 50 countries. The increased burden of HHD caused by high temperature was noteworthy. The burden of HHD caused by these two factors was heavier among the older adults, necessitating improved care. The economic burden of HHD caused by lead exposure is approximately twice that of non-optimal temperature.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
