Objective  To analyze the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and its trend attributed to household air pollution (HAP) from solid fuels in China from 1990 to 2019. Methods  Using the data derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019), including mortality rates, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), age-standardized mortality rates, age-standardized DALY rates, annual percentage change (APC), and average annual percentage change rate (AAPC), we analyzed the CVD burden and its trend attributed to HAP in China from 1990 to 2019. Results  In 2019, HAP in China resulted in 227 000 deaths and 5 182 200 DALYs of CVD; the mortality rate attributed to HAP was 15.96 per 100 000, and the DALY rate was 364.34 per 100 000. In 2019, the age-standardized mortality and DALY rates in China were 12.52 and 262.65 per 100 000, respectively, which were lower than the rates globally, and the rates for males were higher than those for females (13.90 vs. 11.32 per 100 000, 291.76 vs. 234.50 per 100 000). In 2019, both mortality and DALY rates attributed to HAP increased with age, peaking in the age groups of 95 plus and 85-89, respectively. From 1990 to 2019 in China, both age-standardized mortality and DALY rates of CVD attributed to HAP showed a downward trend over time. The average annual percentage change rate (AAPC) of the age-standardized mortality rate was −6.0% (95%CI: −6.2% to −5.8%), and the APCC of the age-standardized DALY rate was −5.8% (95%CI: −6.1% to −5.6%). The burden of the CVD subclass also showed a downward trend. Conclusion  From 1990 to 2019, the burden of CVD attributed to HAP from solid fuels in China shows a significant downward trend, with sex and age differences. Females and the elderly are the key groups of disease burden, so effective interventions should be taken for these groups.
