Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological burden of glaucoma in China based on data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019(GBD 2019)database to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of glaucoma in China.Methods Analysis of the glaucoma epidemic trend and age,period,and gender trends in China from 1990 to 2019 and the correlation between glaucoma and the Socio-Demographic Index(SDI)were conducted according to relevant data on the number of patients,prevalence,disability-adjusted life years(DALYs)and DALY rates downloaded from the GBD 2019 database.Results In 2019,China was ranked globally first for the number of people with glaucoma and second for DALYs due to glaucoma.In 2019,China's glaucoma prevalence was among the highest globally,with the number of pa-tients being 1.92 times that of 1990.Both the prevalence and the DALY rate demonstrated a persistent upward trajectory.The demographic distribution of patients with glaucoma in China revealed a curve which peaked among middle-aged individ-uals,with higher prevalence observed in males than females.An inverse correlation was identified between SDI and the age-standardized prevalence and DALY rates,which exhibited a negative average annual percentage change,indicative of a pro-gressive decline with rising SDI.Conclusion From 1990 to 2019,China experienced a significant increase in the burden of glaucoma,ranking among the highest globally,with a positive correlation observed between the disease burden and the level of social development.
