Abstract

Abstract

Objective To analyze the disease burden and trend of dengue fever in China from 1990 to 2021, and compare it with global data, aiming to provide scientific evidence for the formulation of dengue prevention and control strategies in China under the context of globalization. Methods Relevant data of the global burden of disease 2021 (GBD 2021) database were collected to extract and calculate the age standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), age standardized mortality rate (ASMR), age standardized disability-adjust life years(DALY) rate (ASDR) and other indicators of China and the global burden of dengue disease from 1990 to 2021. Data preprocessing was conducted using Excel 2019, data visualization with R 4.3.1, and trend analysis using the Joinpoint 5.0.2 software for average annual percentage change (AAPC). Results From 1990 to 2021, the number of dengue cases in China increased from 4 364 to 26 748, a relative increase of 512.92%; prevalence rose from 256 to 1 579, a relative increase of 516.80%; the number of deaths decreased from 46 to 9, a decrease of 80.43%; DALY decreased from 3 568 person-years to 622 person-years, a reduction of 82.57%. The age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates showed an overall upward trend (AAPC=5.39%, 5.40%, both P < 0.001), while age-standardized mortality and DALY rates showed an overall downward trend (AAPC=-7.01%, -6.96%, both P < 0.001). In both 1990 and 2021, the highest incidence and prevalence rates in China were observed in the 5- < 15 age group, while the highest mortality was seen in the < 5 age group, consistent with global patterns. From 1990 to 2021, China′s dengue disease burden indices were consistently lower than the global average. Conclusions The disease burden of dengue fever in China is lower than the global average, but both incidence and prevalence are still on the rise. This suggests the need to strengthen dengue prevention and control measures, with particular attention to vulnerable populations such as women, children, and the elderly.
