Health inequality and improvement gap in the prevalence of gynecological cancers among perimenopausal women globally, 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perimenopausal women are a high-risk group for gynecological cancers; however, the spatiotemporal heterogeneity in prevalence and its association with socioeconomic development have not been fully explored. This study aimed to analyze the global burden of cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers among perimenopausal women, examine health inequalities, and investigate their relationship with socioeconomic levels.

Methods

We assessed the disease burden of gynecological cancers in perimenopausal women using the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study (GBD2019) data, utilizing prevalence and Years of Life Lost (YLL) rates. Health inequality and frontier analyses were performed based on age-standardized prevalence rates for cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers, coupled wit
