Global, regional, and national burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to high body mass index from 1990 to 2021

The results indicate that from 1990 to 2021, the burden of CVDs caused by high BMI has significantly increased. Particular attention should be directed toward middle and low-middle SDI regions. To mitigate this burden, it is imperative to implement public health strategies that emphasize education and awareness regarding the correlation between high BMI and CVDs. Policies promoting healthy dietary habits and regular physical activity are essential for reducing the future impact of high BMI-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Such measures are not only urgently needed but also offer substantial long-term benefits for global health.
