Global Burden of Disease study highlights rising heart failure trends
A new analysis from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, published in JAMA Cardiology, reveals that approximately 56 million people worldwide were living with heart failure in 2023. This figure represents more than double the number recorded in 1990.
Data indicates a concerning shift in demographics: while hospitalizations for individuals aged 65 and older have decreased, hospitalizations for those under 65 have risen between 2010 and 2022. Mortality rates have also seen significant increases among younger populations. Between 2001 and 2020, deaths from heart failure more than doubled for the 25–44 age group and nearly doubled for those aged 45–64.
Experts attribute these trends to population growth, aging, and the earlier onset of cardiovascular risk factors. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea are increasingly affecting younger adults compared to previous generations.
