Burden of drug use disorders from 1990 to 2021 and projection to 2050 in China: findings from the 2021 global burden of disease study

Between 1990 and 2021, China experienced a decline in the overall burden of DUDs. However, high incidence and prevalence rates persist, signifying an ongoing significant impact. By 2050, both incidence and prevalence rates of drug abuse are expected to increase significantly, necessitating a focus on the male population and the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies.

Abstract

Between 1990 and 2021, China experienced a decline in the overall burden of DUDs. However, high incidence and prevalence rates persist, signifying an ongoing significant impact. By 2050, both incidence and prevalence rates of drug abuse are expected to increase significantly, necessitating a focus on the male population and the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies.
