Abstract
Background
This study aims to estimate the number of deaths and mortality rates associated with tobacco-related head and neck cancers (TRHNCs) from 1990 to 2019.
Methods
Detailed information on head and neck cancers from 1990 to 2019 was collected using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019. The study reports the global number of deaths and mortality attributable to TRHNCs, along with the corresponding age-standardized death rates (ASDR).
Results
The number of deaths attributed to TRHNCs decreased from approximately 0.24 million in 1990 to around 0.15 million in 2019. The ASDR also showed a decline, dropping from 0.94 in 1990 to 0.73 in 2019.
Conclusions
The deaths of TRHNCs showed increased trends while the ASDR of TRHNCs have exhibited a significant decrease on a global scale. East Asia bears the heaviest disease burden of TRHNCs. The majority of this burden is observed in men, particularly among males aged 55 to 69 years old.
期刊介绍:
ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation.
ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation.
ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation.
Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues.
Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
