- Comparison of maternal hypertensive disorders (MHD) burden between China and the globe from 1990 to 2023.
- China's MHD incident cases and DALYs decreased by 79.73% and 95.33% respectively during the study period.
- China's age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and DALY rate (ASDR) were consistently lower than global averages.
- Incidence of MHD increased among Chinese women aged 35-54, especially in the 45-49 age group.
- Global incidence of MHD declined across all age groups, contrasting with China's trend in older women.
- Projections indicate a continued decline in MHD burden by 2035.
- Rising risk among older pregnant women in China highlights the need for enhanced screening and care.
