Description
Summary:Abstract Oral disorders are major global health issues, affecting 3.5 billion people and imposing significant economic burdens. This study analyzed the distribution and trends of oral disorder burden globally and in China from 1990 to 2021, aiming to inform resource allocation and prevention strategies. Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database were used to evaluate the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) of oral disorders. All statistical analyses and data visualizations were conducted using R. In 2021, the burden of oral disorders in China accounted for a significant proportion of the global burden. The incidence, prevalence, and YLDs increased by 15.49%, 52.44%, and 86.86% respectively compared with 1990. The global burden also showed an upward trend during the same period. The relevant indicators in China are at a relatively low level, and disparities were observed among regions with different sociodemographic indices (SDI). Oral disorder burden is on the rise globally, with females, children, adolescents, and the elderly being the key affected groups. Regions with middle SDI bear a heavier burden. This study provides a scientific basis for the formulation of relevant policies and emphasizes the necessity of interventions for specific groups.
