In 2021, stroke was reported as the leading neurological condition with over 160 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), outpacing other neurological conditions significantly.
The disparity in neurological care is evident, with high-income countries vastly outnumbering low-income nations in neurologists and neurosurgeons—0.1 per 100,000 in low-income regions versus 7.1 in high-income regions.
Despite a stagnant number of global deaths from neurological conditions since 1990, the increase in population age has led to a growing prevalence of these conditions.
There is a stark contrast in neurological condition impacts, with higher DALY rates seen in childhood for certain conditions in African regions compared to autism’s prevalence in wealthier areas.
