Abstract
Background
In recent years, changes in the incidence and mortality rates of nasopharyngeal carcinoma have occurred globally, across various regions, and among different countries. As a high incidence group, it is necessary to study the prevalence trend of middle-aged and elderly people.
Methods
Detailed information on NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients from 1990 to 2021 was collected from the Global Burden of Disease Database 2021 (GBD2021). Adopted incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), sociodemographic index (SDI) and corresponding Estimated Annual Percentage Changes (EAPCs) to assess the burden of NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients. Additionally, a global risk attribution analysis was conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was applied to project the global burden of NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients from 2021 to 2035.
Findings
Globally, the incidence cases of NPC in middle-aged and elderly people increased by 58.2 %, the numbers of death increased by 33.8 %, and the DALY increased by 42.1 %. However, the EAPCs values and upper limits in incidence, mortality and DALY rates were all less than 0, indicating a decreasing trend of incidence, mortality and disease burden. Both incidence and mortality rates were decreasing in high-incidence territories. Most regions were negatively correlated with the sociodemographic index. Males had obviously higher incidence and mortality of NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients than females. The highest incidences of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in middle-aged and elderly males were in the 65–69 age group, and the incidences in females did not change much among different age groups. We found that Alcohol use, Occupational risk and Tobacco were the major risk factors for NPC-related mortality in middle-aged and elderly patients.
Conclusion
Controllable etiology should be effectively controlled in the future.

期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
