For nBCC, rising incidence was noted with shorter distances, as reflected by a 15% decrease in TIRR with every 10 km increase (0.85(95%CI: 0.85-0.86)).

A search of the PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases was performed on September 12, 2024 to select peer-reviewed English studies relevant to our topic.
