Purpose: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the global incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) attributable to vertebral fractures from falls among individuals aged 55 and older between 1990 and 2021, with trends further delineated by gender, geographic region, and socio-demographic index (SDI). Methods: This study utilized data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, focusing on trend changes and stratified characteristics of the burden of vertebral fractures caused by falls among individuals aged 55 and older. Results: In 2021, there were approximately 2.02 million new cases of vertebral fractures due to falls among individuals aged 55 and older globally, with 2.70 million prevalent cases and 264,211 YLDs. The age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) in 2021 was 140.77 per 100,000, showing an increase compared to 1990 (average annual percent change [AAPC]: 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23 to 0.30), while the age-standardized prevalence rates (ASPR) and age-standardized years lived with disability rates (ASYR) exhibited a downward trend. Female patients had higher indicators than male patients, but the burden on male patients was increasing. The ASIR, ASPR, and ASYR in high SDI regions were positively correlated with SDI. High-income and densely populated regions and countries bore the greatest burden. Predictive analysis showed that the global burden of vertebral fractures will further increase between 2022 and 2035. Conclusions: From 1990 to 2021, the burden of vertebral fractures due to falls among individuals aged 55 and older showed an upward trend. The burden on males may have been underestimated, and particular attention is required for high SDI regions, high-income areas like North America and Western Europe, as well as densely populated countries. With the aging population, vertebral fractures caused by falls require continued attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
