From 1990 to 2021, Age-Standardized Rates (ASRs) for incidence and prevalence rose by 1.83% (95% CI: 1.58%\u20132.08%), and for DALYs and mortality by 1.33% (95% CI: 1.10%\u20131.57%) and 1.70% (95% CI: 1.45%\u20131.94%), respectively. Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model analysis showed a positive link between dengue fever incidence and age, with mortality spiking in those over 80. DALYs burden decomposition highlighted population growth as the key driver of global burden, yet impacts differed across Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) quintiles. Dengue fever burden inequalities related to SDI have remained, with benefits shifting from poor to rich populations. Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model projections indicate stable incidence and prevalence ASRs, but declining DALYs and mortality ASRs, especially for females.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study elucidates the changes in the burden of dengue fever against the backdrop of a burgeoning global population, severe aging, and pronounced health inequities across nations, quantifying these alterations and forecasting the trends in the disease burden over the next three decades.
