claimRegions with low Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) exhibited the highest age-standardized prevalence, incidence, death, and DALYs rates for nutrient deficiency disorders, while high SDI regions exhibited the lowest rates.
measurementThe age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) was 3.03 per 100,000 persons (95% UI: 2.69–3.4) in 2021.
measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) for the incidence rate of nutrient deficiency disorders was -2.52% (95% UI: -2.67%, -2.38%).
referenceThe 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study analyzed nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) across 204 countries and 21 regions from 1990 to 2021, evaluating incidence, prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) for the DALYs rate of nutrient deficiency disorders was -2.52% (95% UI: -2.71%, -2.32%).
measurementThe age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate for nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) was 657.62 per 100,000 individuals (95% UI: 489.93–869.58) in 2021.
measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) for the prevalence rate of nutrient deficiency disorders was -0.98% (95% UI: -0.99%, -0.96%).
measurementIn 2021, the global number of deaths related to nutrient deficiency disorders was 22.23 million (95% UI: 19.97, 24.76 million).
measurementBetween 1990 and 2021, the Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) for the mortality rate of nutrient deficiency disorders was -4.41% (95% UI: -4.84%, -3.98%).
measurementIn 2021, the global number of DALYs related to nutrient deficiency disorders was 4,891.93 million (95% UI: 3,598.61, 6,498.54 million).
measurementThe age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) for nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) was 23,858.99 cases per 100,000 individuals (95% UI: 23,445.77–24,320.82) in 2021.
measurementIn 2021, the global number of incident cases related to nutrient deficiency disorders was 58,612.94 million (95% UI: 562,143.85, 61,458.60 million).
measurementIn 2021, the global number of prevalent cases related to nutrient deficiency disorders was 184,524.66 million (95% UI: 181,194.64, 188,268.3 million).
measurementIn 2021, the global burden of nutrient deficiency disorders (NDs) included 1,845,246,558 total cases.
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.
