Lung Cancer Burden Attributable to High Fasting Plasma Glucose in Women 50+, 1990-2021

1990–2021 data on lung cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high fasting plasma glucose among women aged 50 and older, used as a proxy for postmenopausal status. The dataset, shared by figshare admin karger, includes age-standardized rates, annual trends, and breakdowns by age group, Socio-demographic Index quintile, and BRICS countries. It was last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in HFPG-attributable lung cancer burden based on estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) data from 1990 to 2021.
• Compare the burden across different age groups and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles based on age-standardized rates.
• Investigate country-specific patterns in BRICS nations based on reported DALY rates and EAPC values.

Strengths

• Data spans 31 years (1990–2021), providing a long-term trend analysis.
• Includes specific metrics like age-standardized rates per 100,000 and EAPC with 95% confidence intervals.
• Stratified by age, SDI quintile, and country, allowing for detailed subgroup analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (38.1 KB), suggesting it contains summary statistics rather than raw, granular data.

Provenance

Source

Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 1990–2021 study.

Collection Method

HFPG-attributable lung cancer deaths and DALYs were obtained from GBD. Trends were assessed using estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) from log-linear regression.
