Methods Data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) study were utilised to report counts age-standardised rates for YLD related deficiency. All estimates accompanied by 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). Results In 2021, MENA region was 14368.2 per 100,000, representing a 26% decline The highest observed Yemen (30146.5), Sudan (19296.9), Morocco (15,303) 100,000 population. Prevalence notably among children under 5 old women reproductive age, gradual older age groups. greatest reductions seen groups, indicating an age-related downward trend 1990 2021. Conclusion Despite some improvements, remains significant public health concern particularly countries lower socio-demographic indices (SDI). Targeted interventions are essential, especially vulnerable groups such as women.
