Scabies remains a significant public health concern globally, affecting people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic groups. The epidemic characteristics of scabies are yet unravelled, especially in high-income countries and elderly population. In this study, we sought to investigate incidence and prevalence and their trends of scabies worldwide from 1990 to 2017 via the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2017. The prevalence and incidence of scabies tend to a moderate increase after age 70. The annual percentage change in ASR of scabies prevalence and incidence increased in high SDI countries and High-income North America. Current prevention strategies should be reoriented, and much more targeted strategies should be established in some populations to forestall the increase in scabies.
疥疮仍然是一个严重的全球公共卫生问题，影响所有年龄、种族和社会经济群体的人。疥疮的流行特征尚未被揭示，特别是在高收入国家和老年人群中。在这项研究中，我们通过 2017 年全球疾病负担研究，旨在调查 1990 年至 2017 年期间全球疥疮的发病率和患病率及其趋势。疥疮的患病率和发病率在 70 岁后趋于中度增加。疥疮的患病率和发病率的 ASR 年增长率在高 SDI 国家和北美高收入地区呈上升趋势。目前的预防策略应重新定位，在某些人群中应制定更有针对性的策略，以防止疥疮的增加。
