Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension, frequently found in the population aged 60 years or older, is associated with multiple cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). BRICS-plus countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) account for over 40% of global population and are undergoing rapid economic development and population growth. The burden of CVDs attributable to hypertension in the elderly population of BRICS-plus remains uncharted.
Aim: To Explore the burden of CVDs attributable to hypertension in the elderly population in BRICS-plus.
Methods: Deaths and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) were used as indices of the burden of CVDs attributable to hypertension. This burden was investigated using joinpoint regression, age-period-cohort, and Nordpred analysis.
Results: Age-standardized DALYs rate and age-standardized mortality rate declined in Russia after 2002, but fluctuating in United Arab Emirates after 2003. The average age-standardized DALYs rate of stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and hypertensive heart disease (HHD) had anisotropic features for nations (China: 58.02%, Russia: 54.64%, and Ethiopia: 37.81%) from 1990 to 2021.
Conclusion: The burden of CVDs attributable to hypertension in the elderly population from 1990 to 2021 in aging countries shows different decline trends. Egypt has the highest burden in none-aging countries. The United Arab Emirates remains elusive because the elderly female population has remained at a relatively low level. HHD, IHD, and stroke account for the highest proportion in Ethiopia, Russia, and China.
