Global, regional, and national trends in the incidence of pneumoconiosis among populations aged 20 and above from 1990 to 2021
Despite a gradual global decline in the ASIR of pneumoconiosis, the disease burden remains substantial in certain regions. Our findings could inform governments and policymakers in developing targeted prevention strategies to mitigate this burden. Future strategies should integrate technological innovation with regulatory frameworks, prioritizing male-dominated high-risk sectors through strengthened global asbestos bans and lifetime health surveillance for workers in pneumoconiosis-prone occupations worldwide.
