Summary
This systematic epidemiological analysis, part of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023, quantifies the burden of chronic respiratory diseases across Asian countries from 1990 to 2023 using integrated multi-source health data and standardised metrics. The study provides contemporary disease estimates and trends intended to support evidence-based public health prioritisation and policy development across diverse Asian health systems. As a population health surveillance study, it does not directly address agricultural systems, soil health, food systems, or nutritional factors.
Regional applicability
This study covers Asian countries and therefore has limited direct geographic applicability to United Kingdom conditions. However, the methodological approach and comparative disease burden data may inform global respiratory health policy frameworks and international disease surveillance strategies relevant to UK public health planning.
Key measures
Disease burden metrics including incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for chronic respiratory diseases by country and time period
Outcomes reported
The study quantified the burden of chronic respiratory diseases across Asian countries from 1990 to 2023 using integrated multi-source health data and standardised metrics. It provides contemporary disease estimates, trends, and regional comparisons to support public health prioritisation.
