Global burden of diarrhea disease in the older adult and its attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2021: a comprehensive analysis from the global burden of disease study 2021
The burden of diarrhea in the older adult has significantly increased, particularly in high-income regions, warranting targeted interventions. The positive correlation between EAPC and the Human Development Index underscores the need for improved water safety to mitigate the disease burden. This study's findings are crucial for shaping public health strategies and informing policy decisions regarding the older adult population.
