Global burden and trends of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (1990-2021) and projection to 2040.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Occupational noise is a global issue that widely affects workers' physical health and quality of life. This study aimed to illustrate the trends and spatiotemporal patterns of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) burden from 1990 to 2021 and project future trends.

Methods

Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021 data, we calculated ONIHL disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), age-standardized DALY rates (ASDRs), and summary exposure values (SEVs) by age, sex, and the Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Inequality and decomposition analyses were used to quantify health inequalities and identify the drivers of the ONIHL burden, respectively. The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to project the disease burden until
