Abstract:
The aim of this study was to analyze the trend of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma incidence and mortality in China from 1990 to 2019, along with assessing the effects of age, period, and cohort, as well as to predict future trends.
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 we calculated the estimated annual percentage changes in the incidence and mortality of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Age-period-cohort analysis was used to assess the independent effects of these elements. Incidence and mortality until 2030 were predicted using a Bayesian age-period-cohort approach.
During 1990–2019, there was a significant increase in the age-standardized incidence and mortality rate in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Strong effects of birth cohort and period on non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma incidence and mortality were observed. In terms of prediction, future non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma incidence and mortality in China will continue to increase, while the mortality rate will decrease; for women, both the rates are projected to rise, but they will remain lower than men.
