Global Burden of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults 75+, 1990-2021

204 countries and territories are covered in this dataset of curated estimates for the global burden of chronic kidney disease in adults aged 75 years and older from 1990 to 2021. It includes age-standardized rates for prevalence, incidence, mortality, and DALYs, with uncertainty intervals and estimated annual percentage changes. The data were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by author weixuan wang and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in chronic kidney disease prevalence based on the 1990-2021 time series.
• Compare national and regional disparities in CKD mortality based on data for 204 countries and territories.
• Model the impact of CKD on population health using disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) metrics.
• Calculate uncertainty in burden estimates based on the provided 95% uncertainty intervals.
• Assess the rate of change in CKD incidence using the Estimated Annual Percentage Changes (EAPCs).

Strengths

• Data spans 32 years (1990-2021), providing a long-term view of trends.
• Covers 204 countries and territories, offering global, regional, and national granularity.
• Includes multiple standardized metrics: prevalence, incidence, mortality, and DALYs with uncertainty intervals.
• File size is 12.4 MB, indicating a manageable, focused dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is specific to the population aged 75 years and older, limiting generalizability.
