High body mass index (BMI) is a significant risk factor for non-communicable diseases; however, its impact on disease burden in China remains understudied. This study aimed to analyze trends in the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stroke, and hypertensive heart disease (HHD) attributable to high BMI in China from 1990 to 2019.
