Dietary risk factors and cancer mortality burden from 1990 to 2021: a comparative study of China and global regions with varying sociodemographic development levels based on the Global Burden of Disease database.

ABSTRACT: To analyze temporal trends of diet-attributable cancer mortality in China (1990-2021), compare patterns between China and regions with varying development levels, and explore gender-specific characteristics to inform targeted prevention strategies. Cross-sectional and time-series analyses. We conducted cross-sectional and time-series analyses of nine dietary risk factors across China, the global region, and five Socio-demographic Index (SDI) - stratified regions. Joinpoint regression models quantified temporal trends through Annual Percent Change (APC) and Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC). Diet-attributable cancer deaths in China decreased from 9.9% (95% CI: 2.2-20.5%) to 6.3% (95% CI: 2.1-12.8%) during 1990-2021. China's 2021 attribution (6.3%) was below the global average (6.8%), exc
