High BMI-Related Ischemic Stroke Burden in Older Adults, 1990-2021

1990 to 2021 estimates of deaths, DALYs, and population-attributable fractions for high BMI-related ischemic stroke among adults aged 70 and older, by sex, age, country, and socio-demographic index. The dataset was created by Zhendong Huang using Global Burden of Disease 2021 data and includes projections to 2044.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in stroke burden based on segmented log-linear regression with breakpoints.
• Comparing geographic and socio-demographic disparities in stroke rates based on country and SDI stratification.
• Projecting future disease burden based on empirical age-specific log-linear extrapolation.
• Decomposing changes in deaths into population growth, aging, and rate change using a Shapley-based approach.
• Examining sex- and age-specific patterns within the elderly population based on the detailed stratification.

Strengths

• Includes specific 2021 death rates ranging from 3.93 to 124.33 per 100,000.
• Provides disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates from 52.32 to 2085.76 per 100,000.
• Covers a long temporal range from 1990 to 2021 with validated projections to 2044.
• Stratifies data by sex, age group, country, and socio-demographic index (SDI).

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 (1.0 MB), which may require extraction to access underlying tabular data.
