Abstract:

Objective To study the trends of oral cancer deaths attributed to alcohol consumption in China from 1990 to 2019. Methods The global burden of disease in China and the world in 2019 was described by the number of deaths, mortality rate and standardized mortality rate. The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the death trend of oral cancer, and the age-period-cohort(APC) model was established. The independent effects of age, period and birth cohort on death were quantitatively assessed. Results In 2019, the number of deaths from oral cancer in China was 9 296, an increase of 309.70% compared to 1990, higher than the global average. The standardized mortality rate is on the rise for the entire population and males, while females remain unchanged. The mortality rate is increasing at an average annual rate of 4.23%, reaching 0.65/100 000 in 2019, an increase of 242.11% compared to 1990. In 1990, the highest death rate was concentrated in 55-69 years old, and after 2019, it increased to 60-74 years old. The overall net offset from 1990 to 2019 was 2.38%. The mortality rate increased with age, reaching a peak value of 8.36/100 000 at the age of 85-89. The relative risk(RR)of the 2010—2014 period group was the maximum, 1.64. The RR value of the birth cohort effect showed an increasing trend, and the RR value of the birth cohort from 2000 to 2004 reached a maximum of 2.95. Conclusion The death burden of oral cancer attributable to alcohol consumption is increasing year by year in China. Elderly people over 60 years old, especially men, are high-risk subjects. Attention should be paid to the drinking habits and oral health of young people.
