Global Burden of Colorectal Cancer Attributable to Low-Fiber Diet, 1990-2021

From 1990 to 2021, this dataset contains global, regional, and national estimates of colorectal cancer burden attributable to low-fiber diet, including deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized rates. It was produced by Chao Ma using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 and published on figshare in 2026. The analysis includes decomposition of demographic drivers and projections of future trends to 2045.

Use Cases

• Analyze socioeconomic disparities in cancer burden based on the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) stratification
• Model future trends in colorectal cancer mortality based on projected deaths and DALYs to 2045
• Decompose drivers of changing disease burden based on population growth, aging, and epidemiological change factors
• Assess cross-national health inequality based on Slope Index of Inequality and Concentration Index metrics

Strengths

• Data spans a 32-year time range from 1990 to 2021
• Analysis includes global, regional, and national levels of detail
• Uses a standardized comparative risk assessment framework from the Global Burden of Disease Study
• Includes future trend projections to the year 2045

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
