Overview

Global analysis reveals increasing autism spectrum disorders burden in East and Southeast Asia, highlighting health inequality implications across regions.

Key Points

  • The burden of autism spectrum disorders continues to rise globally, with significant increases observed in East and Southeast Asia.
  • A positive correlation exists between the sociodemographic index and autism burden, especially in high-SDI countries compared to lower regions.
  • Health inequality analysis indicates that while prevalence is high in developed nations, lower-SDI countries experience increasing incidence rates.
  • Projected trends suggest that autism burden will escalate through 2050 for both sexes, necessitating urgent public health interventions.
