Global trends in the burden of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer attributable to household air pollution.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tracheal, bronchial, and lung (TBL) cancers, largely attributable to household air pollution (HAP), remain a critical public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021, this study evaluates global trends in HAP-related TBL cancer burden from 1990 to 2021 and projects future trends to 2051.

Methods

The study extracted data on deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from the GBD 2021 and assessed the burden of TBL cancer attributable to HAP by sex, age, region, and socio-demographic index (SDI). The age-period-cohort (APC) model examined the independent effects of age, period, and cohort, while the Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model predicted future trends over th
