Decomposition analysis of regional changes in the global CKD burden in women, 1990–2021.

Decomposition analysis of the changes in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributable to chronic kidney disease (CKD) among women across 21 global regions, 1990–2021. Each horizontal bar decomposes the total change into contributions from population growth, population aging, and epidemiological changes across five CKD subtypes (type 1 diabetic kidney disease [T1DM-CKD], type 2 diabetic kidney disease [T2DM-CKD], hypertensive kidney disease [HT-CKD], glomerulonephritis [GN-CKD], and other causes). Globally, population growth (58.63%) and aging (26.64%) were the principal drivers of the rising CKD burden in women. Patterns varied markedly by region: South Asia and Central Latin America showed the largest overall increases, driven mainly by population growth; East Asia and high-income Asia-Pacific were dominated by aging, with negative epidemiological contributions across all CKD subtypes; and Sub-Saharan African regions were fueled predominantly by population growth.
