Global burden and trends of cardiovascular disease attributable to low vegetable intake: a global burden of disease 1990-2021 analysis and projection to 2035 - PubMed

4 hours ago

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and disability globally.
Low vegetable intake is a modifiable risk factor for CVD, but its specific contribution to the disease burden was not fully quantified until this study.
The study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study to assess the burden of CVD attributable to low vegetable intake from 1990 to 2021, with projections up to 2035.
Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) declined globally, but absolute deaths increased, indicating a rising absolute burden of CVD.
The highest burden was observed in low- to moderate-SDI regions, particularly in South Asia.
Men aged 55 years and older were most affected, with hypertensive heart disease being the leading CVD subtype.
Projections suggest a continued gradual decline in global ASMR through 2035.
The findings emphasize the need for targeted dietary interventions and public health policies to address the burden of CVD attributable to low vegetable intake.
