Trends of Prostate Cancer Morbidity in Low-Incidence Countries from 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study was designed to elucidate the morbidity trends of prostate cancer in low-incidence countries.

Methods

Data on prostate cancer were extracted from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study. A cluster analysis of growth rates stratified by age was conducted, and correlation analyses were performed between age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), estimated annual percent change (EAPC), and socio-demographic index (SDI).

Results

Among 35 low-incidence countries for prostate cancer, predominantly located in Asia and North Africa, the SDI ranged from low to high-middle levels. Higher SDI regions exhibited considerably higher ASIR. With the exception of Kyrgyzstan, Kiribati, and Samoa that experienced a decrease in ASIR, the remaining 32 countries displaye
