Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Sex-specific heart failure burden across the United States: Global burden of disease 1990-2019
Authors' conclusion
The burden of HF in the US is high, although the magnitude of this burden varies according to age, sex, state, and region. There is a significant increase in the absolute number of individuals with HF, especially among women >70 years, expected to continue due to the aging population.
Study context
- Population
- US population, by sex, state and region, 1990–2019 (heart failure (HF) defined by symptom-based criteria)
- Exposure
- Females vs males
- Outcome
- Age-adjusted HF prevalence and YLD rates per 100,000 individuals
Methodological detailsGlobal Burden of Disease 2019 data, US states and regions, 1990–2019
- Global Burden of Disease 2019 data
- US states and regions
- 1990–2019
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Age-adjusted HF prevalence per 100,000 · 2019
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
HF prevalence trends over time (US) · 1990–2019
- Cyclic fluctuations in HF prevalence, peaks mid-1990s and around 2010, lowest points around 2000 and 2018
States with increased HF prevalence, 1990-1994 vs 2015-2019
- States with increased female HF prevalence
- 10
- States with increased male prevalence
- 4
Absolute number with HF, age >70 years · 1990–2019
- Absolute number with HF higher in females; count doubled between 1990 and 2019
Relative decline in HF burden by region
- Western states had the greatest relative decline in HF burden, in both sexes
