measurementHigh-SDI regions experienced a marked decline in the Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) between 2016 and 2019.

measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the greatest substantial decline in the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of nutritional deficiencies occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, with an estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of -2.81 (-3.01 to 2.62).

measurementEastern Sub-Saharan Africa has an age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for nutritional deficiencies of 49,502.75 per 100,000 people (95% UI: 48,371.01–50,624.14), which is the highest in the world.

measurementThe Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) in Southeast Asia shows that the Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) has decreased at an average annual rate of -3.74%.

measurementCentral Sub-Saharan Africa has an age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for nutritional deficiencies of 23,067.04 per 100,000 people (95% UI: 21,152.87–24,805.25), which is the second highest in the world.

measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of nutritional deficiencies in Australia trended higher, with an estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of 0.03 (-0.18–0.24).

measurementIn 2021, regions with low Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) reported an Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) of 19,047.59 cases per 100,000, an Age-Standardized Prevalence Rate (ASPR) of 44,208.88 cases per 100,000, an Age-Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR) of 8.73 per 100,000, and DALYs of 1,319.28 per 100,000.

claimHigher Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) levels are associated with lower disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), as well as reduced age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), prevalence rates (ASPR), and mortality rates (ASMR) for non-communicable diseases.

measurementIn 2021, regions with high Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) reported an Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) of 1,671.71 cases per 100,000, an Age-Standardized Prevalence Rate (ASPR) of 6,458.84 cases per 100,000, an Age-Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR) of 0.95 per 100,000, and DALYs of 118.26 cases per 100,000.

measurementAustralia has the lowest age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for nutritional deficiencies, with 845.61 per 100,000 persons (95% UI: 741.33–996.47).

measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the global Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) and the ASIR of the five Sociodemographic Index (SDI) regions generally showed a downward trend.

measurementThe correlation between Age-Standardized Incidence Rate (ASIR) and Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) for nutritional deficiencies shifted from a significant negative correlation in 1990 (R = −0.29, P < 0.001) to a blurred relationship by 2021 (R = 0.03, P = 0.07).

measurementThe age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) for nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) was 7,725.1 per 100,000 people (95% UI: 7,404.01–8,109.01) in 2021.
