Epidemic of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease in China: current trends and future prediction
The burden of PAD in China has increased markedly from 1990 to 2021 and is expected to continue rising over the next 25 years. Efforts to reduce modifiable risk factors-such as smoking and metabolic diseases-and to enhance PAD prevention and management, including the establishment of Pan-Vascular Management Center, are urgently needed.
