Global, regional, and national burden of smoking-attributable digestive cancers in adults aged ≥60 years, 1990–2021, with projections to 2036: A secondary dataset analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021
Despite falling age-specific rates, the absolute burden of smoking-attributable digestive cancers in older adults is rising in parallel with demographic growth. Projections to 2036 suggest that, if current demographic trends continue, absolute deaths and DALYs are expected to continue increasing as populations age and grow.
