The global burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to high body mass index, 1990–2023
High BMI is a major contributor to CVDs globally, leading to significant increases in deaths and DALYs over the past three decades. The impact varies by age, gender, income level, and geographic region, with the APC growing most rapidly in lower-middle income populations. IHD is particularly concerning, with notable gender and age-specific trends. Addressing high BMI and its associated cardiovascular risks, especially in vulnerable populations, is crucial to mitigating the growing impact of obesity-related CVDs.
