ABSTRACT=<p><bold>Objectives:</bold> Assess the prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of vascular intestinal disorders (VID) from 1990 to 2019.</p><p><bold>Methods:</bold> This study conducted a secondary data analysis utilizing the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. The prevalence, mortality and DALYs of VID were analyzed by sex, age and socio-demographic index (SDI), respectively. Analyses were performed by using R software.</p><p><bold>Results:</bold> Globally, the number of prevalent VID cases increased from 100,158 (95% uncertainty interval: 89,428–114,013) in 1,990–175,740 (157,941–198,969) in 2019. However, the age-standardized rates (ASR) of VID prevalence declined from 2.47 (95% uncertainty interval: 2.24–2.76) per 100,000 population to 2.21 (1.98–2.48) per 100,000 population between 1990 and 2019. Furthermore, the ASR of mortality also decreased from 1990 to 2019. Between 1990 and 2019, the regions with high and high-middle level exhibited the highest diseases burden.</p><p><bold>Conclusion:</bold> Globally, the diseases burden associated with VID demonstrated a decline from 1990 to 2019. However, concerted efforts are still required to enhance measures to combat VID within countries categorized as high and high-middle SDI.</p>
