Zusammenfassung:[1] Nutritional deficiencies may have irreversible effects on the physical and cognitive development of children and adolescents, which may result in higher morbidity and mortality, and decreased productivity later in life. Based on the GBD 2015, this study aims to assess and analyze the disease burden of nutritional deficiencies among Chinese children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 years, as well as its temporal trend from 1990 to 2015, and to discover the differences in the distribution of nutritional deficiencies burden among children and adolescents. Age-standardized results were calculated according to the World Health Organization world population age standard. The age-standardized DALY rate among children and adolescents decreased by 38.97%; therein, the reduction rates of the age-standardized DALY rate for females with nutritional deficiencies were higher than males.Table 1 Age-standardized prevalence, mortality rate, YLD rate, YLL rate, DALY rate, and percentage change of age-standardized rates for nutritional deficiencies among Chinese children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 years, by age and gender, in 1990 and 2015.
