GBD: incidence rates and prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression and schizophrenia in countries with different SDI levels, 1990–2021 by Jueqi Wang, Xue Guan, Ning Tao

“…Data were categorized into 5-year age groups and 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) were calculated to account for data variability.ResultsIn countries with different SDI levels, the age-standardized average annual percentage change (AAPC) in the incidence of anxiety were all shown to be increasing, and there were large gender differences between the different SDI levels, with a maximum of 0.97 (0.76–1.18) for females in countries with a high SDI level, Age-standardized more rates per 100,000 people in high SDI countries, from 658.87 in 1990 to 841.56 in 2021, and the largest gender differences in countries with a low to moderate SDI level, with AAPCs for males and females of 0.04 (0.04–0.05), 0.86 (0.63–1.09); for depression, only the countries with medium-high SDI levels were statistically significant compared to the countries with medium-low SDI levels, with AAPCs of 0.05 (0.04–0.07), 0.04 (0.04–0.05); for schizophrenia in addition to the AAPCs of the countries with medium-high SDI levels showed an increase of 0.16 (0.13–0.18); the rest decreased.ConclusionThis study highlights the current status of global incidence and prevalence of mental disorders and examines the complex interactions between the period of onset and cohort of onset of mental disorders using APC modeling, with differences in gender differences in mental disorders in countries with different SDIs, and significant differences in countries with low to medium SDI levels, requiring further exploration of the mechanisms by which socio-economic development influences gender-specific mental health. …”
