Objective: The effect of sodium intake on atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL), with respect to sex and age, has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to compare long-term trends in AF/AFL death and disability due to high sodium intake in China from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: We utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease study to assess the mortality and disability burden of AF/AFL attributable to high sodium intake (> 5 g/d) in China from 1990 to 2019.

We provided global, regional, and national estimates of the burden of CRC and their attributable risks from 1990 to 2021, aiming to guide screening, early detection, and treatment strategies, optimize healthcare resource allocation, and facilitate the rational management of burden of CRC.

Methods: Using data derived from the Global Burden of Disease database, we estimated the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of CRC.
