Global Burden of Aortic Aneurysm and Lead Exposure Risk, 1990-2021

1990 to 2021 data from the Global Burden of Disease study analyzes deaths, disability-adjusted life years, and age-standardized rates for aortic aneurysm among adults aged 60 years and older. The dataset, authored by Ze Song and published on figshare, assesses the contribution of environmental lead exposure and projects future trends for the next 15 years.

Use Cases

• Analyze global and regional trends in aortic aneurysm burden based on deaths and DALYs metrics
• Assess the contribution of lead exposure as a risk factor for aortic aneurysm based on the described analysis
• Project future trends in age-standardized death and DALY rates based on historical data from 1990 to 2021
• Compare disease burden across Socio-demographic Index groups, regions, and 204 countries as mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Data spans a 31-year time range from 1990 to 2021
• Analysis covers 204 countries and 21 GBD regions, indicating broad geographic coverage
• Includes projections for future trends over the next 15 years

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 DOCX document (20.2 KB), which may not be a standard data format and likely contains summarized results rather than raw data
