Global Burden of Ischemic Heart Disease in Women of Childbearing Age, 1990-2021

Data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of ischemic heart disease for women of childbearing age across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021. The dataset, authored by Jieying Liu and published on figshare in 2026, includes estimates of the proportion of disease burden attributable to specific risk factors like poor diet, tobacco use, high BMI, and high blood pressure. It is derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in ischemic heart disease burden based on estimated annual percentage change data.
• Compare regional disparities in disease incidence and mortality based on geographical distribution across 204 countries.
• Assess the contribution of modifiable risk factors like high BMI and high blood pressure to disease burden.
• Model the relationship between Socio-demographic Index (SDI) and disease outcomes based on regional SDI-level analysis.

Strengths

• Provides data for 204 countries and territories, offering a global perspective.
• Includes uncertainty intervals (e.g., 95% UI) for key metrics like 1,349,518 new cases in 2021.
• Covers a 31-year time series from 1990 to 2021, allowing for trend analysis.
• Links disease burden to specific attributable risk factors, including high BMI and high blood pressure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a PDF (757.1 KB), which suggests the underlying tabular data may require extraction.
