Trend and burden of ischemic stroke attributable to high body mass index in China from 1990 to 2021, with projection to 2044
High BMI contributes to a growing and sex-disparate burden of IS in China, with accelerated growth in older adults. Unlike high-income countries, China has not yet achieved declines in high BMI-attributable IS mortality and DALYs. Urgent public health interventions targeting BMI reduction, particularly in males and older populations, are needed to mitigate future burdens.
