Epidemiological Trends and Projection of Liver Cancer Due to Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Among People Aged 55 Years and Older in China From 1990 to 2030: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

This study comprehensively explored the temporal trends of LCDMDS burden among Chinese aged 55 years and older from 1990 to 2021, revealing significant increases in incidence and mortality, as well as age, period, and cohort effects. ARIMA model projections show that the LCDMDS burden will continue to rise despite minor rate changes. Thus, immediate interventions such as early detection, public-health awareness-raising, and further research are urgently needed to relieve the LCDMDS burden in China.
