Nationally, China had the highest number of deaths and DALYs due to smoking-related ischemic stroke.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study highlights the significant global burden of ischemic stroke attributable to active smoking and the critical need for targeted smoking cessation programs and stroke prevention strategies. Despite overall declines in ASMR and age-standardized DALY rates, the burden varies significantly across different regions and sociodemographic groups. Effective public health interventions, particularly in low- to middle-SDI regions, are essential to mitigate the impact of smoking-related ischemic stroke and improve global health outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":23202,"journal":{"name":"Tobacco Induced Diseases","volume":"22 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11541932/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142606124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
