Global burden of cardiovascular disease attributable to lead exposure: based on the global burden of disease study 2021

Despite falling age-standardized rates, lead-attributable CVD burden remains substantial and increasingly concentrated in lower-SDI populations, driven mainly by population growth and aging. SDI-stratified policies combining lead source control with scalable CVD prevention are essential to reduce inequities and close efficiency gaps.

Abstract

Despite falling age-standardized rates, lead-attributable CVD burden remains substantial and increasingly concentrated in lower-SDI populations, driven mainly by population growth and aging. SDI-stratified policies combining lead source control with scalable CVD prevention are essential to reduce inequities and close efficiency gaps.
