Smokingalcohol consumption, being overweight and other known risk factors accounted for approximately 4.45 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2019 is suggested by new research.
This new study shows how a list of 34 risk factors contributes to cancer mortality and ill-health globally, regionally, and nationally across age groups, genders, and over time. It is the first study to estimate whether
According to this study, 4.45 million people account for 44.4% of all cancer deaths worldwide.
Smoking remains a major risk factor for cancer worldwide, There are a variety of other factors that increase the burden on
IHME Director Dr. Christopher Murray
However, the data show that the number of cancer deaths in the UK due to risk factors is higher than the global average, with 49.7% indicates that there is Dr. Christopher Murray, Director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the
University of Washington School of Medicine Medicinesaid: says. : "This study shows that the burden of cancer remains a significant and growing public health challenge worldwide.
"Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of cancer worldwide. continue to be significant risk factors, and there are a variety of other factors that contribute significantly to the burden of cancer.
"Our findings suggest that policy makers and researchers and to identify key risk factors that can be targeted in efforts to reduce cancer deaths and ill health globally.”
Smoking, alcohol use, unsafe sex, Behavioral risk factors, such as dietary risks, account for a large portion of the global cancer burden, accounting for 3.7 million deaths, a study found.
Using the 2019 Global Burden of Disease, Injury and Risk Factors (GBD) study, the researchers compared his 23 cancer deaths and ill health in 2019 to 34 We investigated how behavioral, metabolic, environmental, and occupational risk factors contributed.
Cancer burden estimates were based on deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
According to this study, the risk factors included in the analysis accounted for his DALYs for 105 million cancer cases worldwide in 2019, compared to the total DALYs for that year. Equivalent to 42%.
Researchers found that tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers were the leading causes of risk-related cancer deaths in men and women worldwide, and that all risk factor-related cancer deaths was found to account for 36.9% of
Among men, colorectal cancer (13.3%), esophageal cancer (9.7%), gastric cancer (6.6%), cervical cancer (17.9%), and colorectal cancer (15.8%) followed. . ) and female breast cancer (11%).
Between 2010 and 2019, cancer deaths due to risk factors increased by 20.4% globally, from 3.7 million to 4.45 million he.
Dr. Lisa Force,Assistant Professor of Health Indicator Science at her IHME at the University of Washington School of Medicine, said: important and should be part of a comprehensive cancer control strategy that supports early diagnosis and effective treatment. "
Her Professor Diana Sarfati and her Dr. Jason Gurney from the University of Otago in New Zealand, who were not involved in the study, said in a linked comment: Risk factors are our best hope for reducing the future burden of cancer.
“Reducing this burden will improve health and well-being, reducing the compounding human impact and pressure on financial resources in cancer services and the broader health sector. ''
