Global, regional, and national burden of smoking-attributable digestive cancers in adults aged ≥60 years, 1990–2021, with projections to 2036: A secondary dataset analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021

Key Points

The absolute burden of smoking-attributable digestive cancers is rising, driven by demographic growth.
Between 1990 to 2021, smoking-related cancers in older adults have increased alongside population trends.
Analysis using secondary data from the Global Burden of Disease reveals concerning trends in cancer incidence.
Projections indicate that without intervention, mortality rates from these cancers may continue to rise.

Abstract

Despite falling age-specific rates, the absolute burden of smoking-attributable digestive cancers in older adults is rising in parallel with demographic growth. Projections to 2036 suggest that, if current demographic trends continue, absolute deaths and DALYs are expected to continue increasing as populations age and grow.
