BACKGROUND: Blindness and vision loss (BVL) is a major public health concern. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and etc., were the leading causes of vision impairment globally. METHODS: We extracted global, regional, national, age-and sex-specific data on the prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) of BVL caused by NCDs from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), and then conducted a secondary comparative analysis based on time, location, age, gender, socioeconomic development index (SDI) and health system level. RESULTS: From 1990 to 2021, the global incidence of BVL caused by NCDs continuously increased. In 2021, 1475648.6 thousand BVL cases caused by NCDs occurred globally, and ASR of YLDs reached 371.1 per 100,000 population. Great disparities were found across different genders, ages, and locations. Higher burdens were noted among females, older adult individuals, regions with lower SDI or less advanced health systems. CONCLUSION: The burden of BVLs caused by NCDs has increased significantly since 1990 and varies widely across regions. Greater efforts are needed in NCDs control and vision protection, especially in older adult individuals and females, in regions with lower SDI, and in regions with less advanced health systems.
背景:失明和视力丧失是一个重大的公共卫生问题。包括白内障、青光眼、年龄相关性黄斑变性、糖尿病视网膜病变等在内的非传染性疾病是全球视力损害的主要原因。 方法:我们从《2021年全球疾病负担研究》(GBD 2021)中提取了关于非传染性疾病导致的失明和视力丧失的患病率及失能生存年数(YLDs)的全球、区域、国家、年龄和性别特异性数据,然后基于时间、地点、年龄、性别、社会经济发展指数(SDI)和卫生系统水平进行了二次比较分析。 结果:1990年至2021年,非传染性疾病导致的全球失明和视力丧失发病率持续上升。2021年,全球发生了1475648.6千例由非传染性疾病导致的失明和视力丧失病例,YLDs的年龄标准化率达到每10万人口371.1。在不同性别、年龄和地点之间发现了巨大差异。女性、老年人、SDI较低或卫生系统较不发达地区的负担更高。 结论:自1990年以来,非传染性疾病导致的失明和视力丧失负担显著增加,且各地区差异很大。在非传染性疾病控制和视力保护方面需要做出更大努力,特别是在老年人和女性、SDI较低的地区以及卫生系统较不发达的地区
