Description

Mehdi Azizmohammad Looha and co-authors link the Human Development Index to the burden of the main cancers of the gut, across the world. Their 2025 study uses Global Burden of Disease data from 1990 to 2021.

The team looked at incidence, mortality, disability, and deaths tied to tobacco. The cancers were those of the colorectal zone, the liver, the pancreas, and the stomach. Lands were grouped by their level of development. Models that track change over time were used to gauge the links. In 2021, development was linked, in a positive way, with the burden of colorectal and pancreatic cancer. The patterns for liver and stomach cancer split by the development group. Incidence of colorectal cancer rose in both groups. Trends in mortality pulled apart, for lands that were more developed and lands that were less so.
