Global, regional, and national burden of liver cancer attributable to hepatitis B virus among middle-aged and older adults from 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2035: results of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
From 1990 to 2021, the ASIR of liver cancer attributable to HBV among adults aged 55 years and older showed a declining trend globally and nationally. However, the absolute number of cases continued to rise due to population growth and aging demographics. Moreover, the risk burden increased with age, and thus greater attention should be paid to liver cancer attributable to HBV in middle-aged and older adults.
