The epidemiology trend and burden of high BMI in China. (A) The estimated percentage changes of age-standardized summary exposure value of high BMI in China and other regions over the world from 1990 to 2019. (B) The estimated percentage changes of age-standardized death of high BMI in China and other regions over the world from 1990 to 2019. (C) The estimated percentage changes of age-standardized DALY of high BMI in China and other regions over the world from 1990 to 2019. (D) The specific causes of death attributable to high BMI in China, 2019. (E) The specific causes of DALY attributable to high BMI in China, 2019. Colors of the organs represent the age-standardized rate of deaths in Panel D and DALYs in Panel E, with darker color represents higher burden. BMI: Body mass index; DALY: Disability-adjusted life of years; SEV: Summary exposure value.
