From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized rate (ASR) of disease indicators has declined globally, and middle-sociodemographic index (SDI) countries demonstrated the most substantial increase in ASRs for all indicators. The global number of DALYs has increased, with the most substantial increases occurring in high-middle SDI countries. The effective difference (EF) for all four disease indicators generally exhibited a spiraling expanding trend with increasing SDI.
