Burden of cancers attributable to high fasting plasma glucose in the Middle East and North Africa region, 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT: The present study reported the cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) that were attributable to high fasting plasma glucose (HFPG) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by country, age, sex, cancer type and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), from 1990 to 2019. Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 data were used to report the cancer-related deaths and DALYs that were attributable to HFPG, for all MENA countries over the period 1990-2019. The results were presented as numbers, population attributable fractions (PAFs) and rates (per 100,000) with 95% uncertainty intervals. In 2019, there were an estimated 19.8 thousand (5.5-40.2) cancer deaths attributable to HFPG in MENA, which represents 4.7% (1.3-9.3) of all cancer-related deaths. The number of regional DALYs due t
