Exposure-lag response of surface net solar radiation on lung cancer incidence: a global time-series analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, the impact of solar radiation (RAD) on diseases worldwide has garnered growing attention. However, the association between RAD and lung cancer remains largely unknow and no consensus has been reached. The aim of this study was to investigate the lag exposure-response of RAD on lung cancer and provide robust scientific evidence for updating prevention and treatment strategies of lung cancer.

Methods

Data of RAD were obtained from Google Earth Engine, which was post-processed by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Lung cancer incidence, smoking prevalence and socio-demographic index (SDI) were obtained from Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Spearman's rank correlation tests and linear regression analyses were performed to investigate
