Methods This study systematically retrieved data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2021, including information related to China. It assessed using specific indicators and methods, such as incidence, mortality disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYs). Joinpoint regression models were used analyse trends disease burden, age‐period‐cohort evaluate effects age, period cohort. Results From 1990 DALYs increased total population, well males females. The age‐standardized DALY rates rose at average annual 0.051, 0.056 2.629, respectively. Age‐period‐cohort model analysis showed that net drift values across all age groups greater than 0 ( p < 0.05), with local drifts peaking between ages 20 24. risk age. Compared 2005–2009 reference period, overall, male female incidence risks first then decreased, while continued rise. Additionally, 1945–1949 birth cohort also an increasing trend. Conclusion In conclusion, overall grew 2021. To combat this, future efforts should focus on educating preventing transmission among adolescents elderly.

The PRISMA-Scoping approach was adopted targeting articles published from 2018 2022, sought CINALH, PubMed, Web Science Scopus. A process screening elimination resulted a total 70 reviewed. Most studies were conducted Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, with majority HIV/AIDS. In general, examining STIs SEA reported low levels across various cohorts. However, evidence suggests that these issues are more prominent among individuals education or socioeconomic status, those living rural areas working sex/industrial sectors. Engaging unsafe sex having multiple partners key examples for sexual behavior, while fear being rejected/discriminated/stigmatized lacking STI awareness identified as social SEA. Overall, cultural, societal, economic gender inequality (male dominance) greatly impact people’s Education is an important factor influencing healthy behavior; therefore, this calls increased investment educating vulnerable populations prevent STIs, particularly less-developed countries/regions
