Global burden of non-melanoma skin cancers among older adults: a comprehensive analysis using machine learning approaches.

ABSTRACT: Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), have shown significant global increases in burden, particularly among older adults, with wide regional, gender, and socio-demographic disparities. However, no previous study has comprehensively analyzed these trends using integrated multi-model approaches. A comprehensive analysis of global non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) data from 1990 to 2021 was performed, including trend analysis, frontier analysis, and decomposition analysis to compare the burden of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) across regions, genders, and socio-demographic groups. Temporal trends in incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were identified using epidemiolog
