Neurological disorders, like stroke and dementia, are now the leading cause of ill health, affecting billions worldwide, new study revealed in a surprising shift in global health.
Conditions affecting the nervous system — such as strokes, migraines and dementia — have surged past heart disease to become the leading cause of ill health worldwide, a major new analysis said on Friday.
Lead study author Jaimie Steinmetz of the IHME said the results showed that nervous system conditions are now"the world's leading cause of overall disease burden". This data was used to estimate how many years of healthy life were lost to each condition, called disability-adjusted life years .More than 443 million years of healthy life were lost to nerve system disorders globally in 2021, an 18-percent increase from 1990, the study found.
The most common neurological disorders were tension headaches and migraines. The quickest-growing condition was nerve damage called diabetic neuropathy from soaring cases of diabetes.But there are ways to lessen the risk, including reducing rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and alcohol consumption, the researchers said.They called for much more to be done to prevent, treat and rehabilitate the disorders, which disproportionately affect poorer countries.
