Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and its associated risk factors in Fujian, China, from 1990 to 2013.
- The age-standardized death rate from IHD increased by 15.3%, while disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) slightly decreased by 8.8% during the same period, mainly due to population growth and aging.
- The leading risk factors contributing to IHD DALYs were high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, high sodium diet, and elevated blood glucose, indicating significant opportunities for prevention.
