Résumé
Purpose
Endometriosis often becomes symptomatic early in reproductive life, yet estimates for younger females are subsumed within broader reproductive-age populations. We assessed burden among females aged 15-29 years in China and the Western Pacific Region (WPR).
Methods
We analyzed GBD 2023 estimates of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) from 1990 to 2023. Analyses included the WPR and 31 countries and areas. We assessed age-standardized rates (ASR), EAPCs, Joinpoint trends, age-specific and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) patterns, and demographic contributions to changes in absolute burden.
