Global patterns, subtype composition, and risk-attributable burden of leukemia, 1990–2021

Caption

This image is based on secondary analyses of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) and provides a comprehensive overview of the global burden of leukemia from 1990 to 2021. It illustrates long-term trends in leukemia prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), geographic patterns across 204 countries and territories, variations by 21 GBD regions and sociodemographic index (SDI) levels, subtype-specific contributions of ALL, AML, CLL, and CML, as well as the proportions of leukemia-related DALYs attributable to major modifiable risk factors, including high body mass index, tobacco use, and occupational carcinogen exposure. Overall, the visualization highlights pronounced heterogeneity in leukemia burden across age, sex, region, subtype, and socioeconomic development, underscoring persistent global health inequalities.
