%X Asbestos is a well-established occupational carcinogen, with strong evidence linking its exposure to lung cancer. Despite increasing awareness of its health risks, asbestos continues to be used in many countries. We aimed to evaluate the global burden of lung cancer attributable to occupational asbestos exposure and to analyze its epidemiological patterns across time and by regions, sex, and age.We utilized lung cancer data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, including information on new cases, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), along with their age-standardized rates by gender and age groups. Temporal trends were examined using Joinpoint regression models with 95
