Abstract:
Objectives:To investigate the distribution and change of the burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to tobacco consumption in China and the world from 1990 to 2021.Methods:Based on Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2021 database,age standardized mortality and age standardized disability-adjusted life year(DALY)rates and estimated annual percentage change(EAPC)from cardiovascular disease(including ischemic heart disease,stroke,atrial fibrillation and flutter,aortic aneurysm,peripheral artery disease)attributable to tobacco consumption were analyzed.The association of the human development index(HDI)and social demographic index(SDI)with age-standardized mortality was also analyzed.Results:Compared to 1990,the global burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to smoking declined in 2021,age-standardized mortality decreased from 57.2/100 000 to 26.3/100 000(EAPC=-1.81%,95% CI:-2.00% to-1.63% ).The global burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to second-hand smoke also decreased,age-standardized mortality decreased from 11.4/100 000 to 8.3/100 000(EAPC=-1.72%,95% CI:-1.91% to-1.53% ).In China,the burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to smoking also decreased,age-standardized mortality decreased from 52.2/100 000 to 39.6/100 000(EAPC=-1.23%,95% CI:-1.44%-1.02% );the burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to second-hand smoke decreased,age-standardized mortality decreased from 15.3/100 000 to 14.7/100 000(EAPC=-1.26%,95% CI:-1.63% to-0.90% ).Notably,the decrease in cardiovascular diseases burden attributable to second-hand smoke among Chinese women was more significant than the global level,the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese women decreased from 17.9/100 000 to 14.5/100 000(EAPC=-2.24%,95% CI=-2.78%～-1.86% ).Among the five types of cardiovascular diseases attributable to tobacco consumption globally and in China,the age-standardized mortality and age-standardized DALY rates of aortic aneurysm,ischemic heart disease and peripheral artery disease were higher.Globally,ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death,accounting for 60.2% in 1990 and 61.7% in 2021,while stroke is the leading cause of death in China,accounting for 68.1% and 51.4% in 1990 and 2021,respectively.In addition,HDI and SDI are the two main factors affecting the disease burden.In regions and countries with SDI>7.2,age standardized mortality is below our forecast line.In the later part of the forecast,China's age standardized mortality showed a downward trend,possibly due to changes in tobacco control measures.Conclusions:Over the past 30 years,the burden of cardiovascular diseases attributed to tobacco consumption has decreased globally and in China.The decline in disease burden has been most pronounced among women.However,in countries and regions with an SDI below 7.2,the burden of disease remains significant high.Therefore,it is necessary to take tobacco control measures in key regions(China,East Asia,Central Europe,Central Asia and Southeast Asia)to actively reduce smoking rates and exposure to secondhand smoke in public places,so as to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases.
