This study analyzed global, regional, and national endometriosis prevalence and disability-adjusted life-years from 1990-2019, finding a decreasing trend with increasing sociodemographic index and a peak prevalence between ages 25-29.

This Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study used GBD 2019 data to estimate endometriosis prevalence (including numbers and age-standardized prevalence rates) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990–2019 across 204 countries and territories, and assessed trends using Bayesian meta-regression (disMOD-MR 2.1) and age–period–cohort analyses. Globally, age-standardized prevalence rates for endometriosis declined by 20.47% from 1990 to 2019, with DALYs rates decreasing from 71.08 to 56.61 per 100,000, and prevalence peaking between ages 25–29. Declines in age-standardized prevalence were seen across all SDI quintiles and most regions, with the largest reductions reported in Central Latin America, South Asia, and high-income North America, while some European regions showed smaller decreases. The paper is a preprint and therefore not peer reviewed, which is its main stated limitation, and it relates to endometriosis by providing global, regional, and national estimates of prevalence and DALYs over time using GBD 2019.
