Global, regional, and national trends and burden of opioid use disorder in individuals aged 15 years and above: 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2040
The global burden of OUD has statistically significantly increased from 1990 to 2021. There are marked disparities across regions, countries and SDI levels. High-SDI regions, particularly High-income North America, bear the heaviest burden, with young males (aged 20-39 years) being the most affected groups. However, caution should be exercised regarding the female population, as the number of affected individuals is rapidly increasing.
