Analysis of the disease burden of vertebral fractures in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021 and trend forecast to 2035.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
methodsUsing the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, we analyzed the epidemiological trends of VFs in China from 1990 to 2021 and further explored the disease burden characteristics by age and sex. The Joinpoint regression model was employed to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) to analyze the trends. The Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict the changes in standardized rates from 2022 to 2035. Additionally, decomposition analysis was conducted to investigate the impacts of aging, population growth, and epidemiological changes on the disease burden.
resultsIn 2021, the number of incident cases, prevalent cases, and YLDs of VFs globally were 7,497,446, 5,371,438, and 545,923, respectively, which increased by 28.03%, 57.96%, and 54.67% compared with 1990. From 1990 to 2021, the global ASIR, ASPR, and ASYR all decreased (AAPC= -0.72%, -0.73%, and - 0.75%, respectively, P < 0.05). The BAPC model also predicted a similar downward trend from 2022 to 2035. In 2021, the number of incident cases, prevalent cases, and YLDs of VFs in China were 1,194,465, 717,078, and 74,079, respectively, which increased by 52.28%, 113.66%, and 107.21% compared with 1990. From 1990 to 2021, the ASIR in China showed a non-significant increase (AAPC = 0.45%, P > 0.05), while the ASPR and ASYR both increased significantly (AAPC = 0.53% and 0.51%, respectively, P < 0.05). The BAPC model predicted a downward trend in ASIR, ASPR, and ASYR from 2022 to 2035 Gender analysis revealed that the disease burden is more prominent among middle-aged men and elderly women. The age-group analysis showed that the peak age groups for the number of incident cases, prevalent cases, and YLDs all increased, and CIR, CPR, and CYR all increased with age. The decomposition analysis revealed that population growth was the primary factor driving the increase in the number of VFs cases globally, while population growth and aging were the main factors contributing to the increase in the number of VFs cases in China.
conclusionThe disease burden of vertebral fractures is significant and cannot be ignored. China should develop targeted public health strategies based on its demographic structure and socio-economic development, focusing on the prevention and treatment of vertebral fractures in middle-aged men and elderly women to achieve the goal of universal health.
