abstract = {Despite most patients with trachea, bronchus, and lung
(TBL) cancer being elderly, epidemiological data specific to
this population remain scarce. This study aims to update and
delineate the global epidemiological profile of TBL in older
adults.An analysis was conducted on data from the Global
Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2021 for individuals aged 60 and
older. We evaluated the worldwide impact of TBL cancer by
socio-demographic index (SDI), gender, and age across 204
countries and territories, including their spatial and
temporal trends. The main outcomes comprised
age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), mortality rates
(ASMR), disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rates (ASDR),
and average annual percent change (AAPC).From 1992 to 2021,
the estimated cases of TBL cancer, along with associated
deaths and DALYs, increased among the elderly. The ASIR,
ASMR, and ASDR all exhibited a declining trend. In 2021,
East Asia faced a substantial TBL cancer burden, whereas
Western Sub-Saharan Africa exhibited a notable increase over
the last thirty years. In 2021, Monaco and Greenland
recorded the highest ASIR, ASMR, and ASDR, while Egypt
experienced the most significant rise in these rates from
1992 to 2021. The greatest affected age group was those aged
85-89. The TBL cancer burden followed distinct patterns by
SDI and sex, with higher SDI regions and females facing a
particularly notable increase in burden. From 1992 to 2021,
smoking was the leading risk factor for TBL cancer-related
deaths and DALYs in older adults, with particulate matter
air pollution as a close second.The burden of TBL cancer
varies widely across different regions and demographics.
More attention should be paid to the elderly in higher SDI
regions and females. Recognizing these trends is crucial for
enhancing tertiary prevention strategies for TBL cancer and
exploring innovative approaches to diagnosis and treatment.},
