| Summary: | Introduction
This study analyzes the global, regional, and national health burden
of secondhand smoke-related tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer from
1990 to 2021.
Methods
This is a secondary dataset analysis of the GBD dataset. First, the number
and age-standardized rate (ASR) per 100000 population of deaths and disability-
adjusted life years (DALY) related to TBL cancer due to secondhand smoke in
2021 were analyzed at multiple levels. The temporal trends in disease burden
between 1990 and 2021 were then analyzed by a linear regression model.
Results
Globally, the number of deaths and DALYs from secondhand smoke-
related TBL cancer increased from 57.6 thousand and 1598.9 thousand in 1990
to 97.9 thousand and 2355.9 thousand in 2021. Men faced higher risks, with 56.8
thousand deaths and 1359.6 thousand DALYs in 2021. The highest number of
deaths and DALYs occurred in the age groups of 70–74 years (15731; 95% UI:
1787–30495) and 65–69 years (380606; 95% UI: 47383–717297), respectively.
Disease burden varies widely across sociodemographic index (SDI) regions, GBD
regions, and countries. In 2021, the high-middle SDI region had the highest ASRs
of deaths (1.96; 95% UI: 0.23–3.67) and DALYs (47.2; 95% UI: 5.65–87.54),
and the highest number of deaths (39124; 95% UI: 4613–73341) and DALYs
(936577; 95% UI: 111577–1736627). ASR for deaths and DALYs was highest
in East Asia (2.75; 95% UI: 0.34–5.18 and 62.42; 95% UI: 7.79–116.4). Among
the countries, China has the highest number of deaths (58034; 95% UI: 7170–
109625) and DALYs (1359730; 95% UI: 170188–2537368), and Montenegro has
the highest ASR of deaths (3.45; 95% UI: 0.38–7.06) and DALYs (84.34; 95%
UI: 9.36–170.96).
Conclusions
This study describes the disease burden of secondhand smoke-related
TBL cancer, emphasizing secondhand smoke is a non-negligible risk factor for
TBL cancer. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for formulating targeted
tobacco control policies, which could significantly contribute to reducing the
global burden of TBL cancer. |
