Rapidly increasing kidney cancer burden among young adults: insights from the 1990-2021 Global Burden of Disease Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Kidney cancer (KC) is a major global health concern. Considering the significant impact of premature morbidity and mortality in young adults on the global disease burden, it is essential to conduct a longitudinal study on KC in young adults to develop cost-effective interventions.

Methods

Age-standardized rates (ASRs) including incidence rate (ASIR), mortality rate (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) rate (ASDR), and ASDR attributable to risk factors (obesity, smoking, exposure to trichloroethylene, etc.) of KC were analyzed using Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data (1990-2021), in the whole population and among young adults aged 20-39 years by sex, age, and socio-demographic index (SDI). Mortality to incidence ratio (MIR), percentage change, e
