Abstract Background Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis remain serious medical problems worldwide. This study aims to assess the global burden and health inequalities of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis between 1990 and 2021. Methods Data on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2021. The slope index of inequality (SII) and concentration index were used to assess cross-national health inequality. Results There were 2,237,269 (95% uncertainty interval: 1,839,500 to 2,555,200) DALYs due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis in males and 1,804,881 DALYs (1,465,707 to 2,216,376) in females in 2021. The age-standardized DALY rate of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis increased from 37.1 (30.6 to 45.4) per 100,000 in 1990 to 47.6 (41.3 to 53.2) per 100,000 in 2021. Countries with high socio-demographic index (SDI) showed the greatest increase in the age-standardized DALY rate of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis during the past 32 years (53.4%, 45.1 to 62.2%). The SII increased from 19.6 (95% confidence interval: 11.6 to 27.5) in 1990 to 53.4 (39.7 to 67.1) in 2021. The concentration index increased from 0.15 (0.08 to 0.21) in 1990 to 0.23 (0.16 to 0.32) in 2021. Conclusion The burden of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis increased and remained high in the high-SDI quintile. More attention must be given to reducing the burden of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis. |
