Article Abstract
Objective: To characterise the burdens, trends and risk factors of untreated caries in permanent and deciduous teeth from 1990 to 2021 worldwide.
Methods: We extracted data on the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) due to dental caries from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2021 for 204 countries and territories between 1990 and 2021. We used the age-standardised rate, percentage change, and estimated annual percentage change to assess the epidemiological characteristics and disease burden. Loess analysis and Spearman correlation were used to explore the associations between the presence of other systemic diseases and caries. A Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort model was further used to predict the burden of caries in the next 3 decades.
Results: Totally, there were more cases of caries of permanent teeth (CPT, 2.24 vs 1.46 billion) and caries of deciduous teeth (CDT, 0.52 vs 0.49 billion) globally in 2021 than in 1990. The presence of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, enteric infections, oral cancer, and nutritional deficiencies, were significantly associated with the incidence, prevalence and YLDs of CPT. With the growth of global population, the total number of cases of CPT is predicted to reach 2.26 billion by 2050.
Conclusions: The incidence of both careis in deciduous teeth and permanent teeth increased over the past 31 years. The risk of developing caries in the permanent dentition is significantly related to the presence of several systemic diseases. Policymakers should implement effective prevention and control strategies to mitigate this major health burden.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorders, and self-harm are substantial contributors to the global disease burden, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: We used Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021 to estimate global, regional, and national prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for MDD, anxiety disorders, and self-harm from 1990 to 2021. Annual percentage changes were calculated for pre-pandemic (1990-2019) and pandemic (2019-2021) periods.

Background: Antiretroviral therapy has extended the lifespan of HIV/ADIS. However, research and policies mainly target younger groups, leaving gaps in the care for aging people living with HIV (PLHIV).
Methods: Using data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study, this research evaluated the global, regional, and national burdens of HIV/AIDS in adults aged 60 and above from 1990 to 2021.

Unlabelled: Long-term lead exposure damages the central nervous system, with chronic poisoning strongly linked to intellectual developmental disability (IDD) and disproportionately affecting children and adolescents. Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, this study analyzed temporal, spatial, and population-specific trends in lead-attributable IDD burden among global children/adolescents (1990-2021) and projected trends to 2040 to inform global public health strategies. GBD 2021 data characterized global, regional, and national distributions of lead-attributable IDD burden.

Background: Smoking is causally linked to multiple cancers. We present global, regional, and national estimates of smoking-attributable digestive cancers (SADC) burden from 1990 to 2021 to inform smoking policy and cancer control.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, encompassing five subtypes of digestive cancers across 204 countries and territories.

Purpose: This study aims to systematically quantify the global burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in women of childbearing age (WCBA) and analyze its temporal trends and regional disparities.
Methods: This study utilized the Global Burden of Disease 2021 data to assess the incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) spanning from 1990 to 2021. The Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was adopted to forecast trends up to 2045.
