Global burden of TBL cancer in older adults: the role of dietary factors (1990-2021).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence and mortality rates of trachea, bronchus, and lung cancers (TBL) continue to rise globally. Despite a trend of increasing cases among younger populations, the majority of patients with TBL remain concentrated in the 50 + age group. A comprehensive analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database reveals that fruit-deficient diets significantly contribute to both mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with TBL, particularly in patients aged 55 and older, thus posing a major global health challenge. This highlights the critical need to address the burden of this dietary risk factor in older populations. Leveraging the unparalleled value of GBD research in assessing health impacts, this study emphasizes the importance
