Introduction: Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. This study examines lung cancer mortality trends in Andalusia, Spain, from 2003 to 2022, focusing on gender differences and the influence of age, period and cohort effects.
Material And Methods: This longitudinal ecological study analyzed lung cancer mortality data in Andalusia from 2003 to 2022, using age-period-cohort (A-P-C) and joinpoint regression models.
Objectives: This study examined the spatial patterns of systemic sclerosis mortality in Spain from 2003 to 2022, identifying provincial-level clusters and sex-specific differences to explore potential underlying factors.
Methods: Mortality and population data (2003-2022) were sourced from the National Institute of Statistics. Age-standardized mortality rates were calculated, and spatial patterns were analyzed using standardized mortality ratios and smoothed relative risks via the Besag, York, and Mollié model, with statistical inference performed using the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) technique.
Aim: To explore trends in multiple sclerosis incidence rates in Spain between 1990 and 2019.
Methods: We use data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to calculate age-standardised incidence rates of multiple sclerosis and identify significant changes over time using the Joinpoint regression model. We also use the Age-Period-Cohort model to understand the separate influences of age, historical period, and birth cohort on these trends.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined psoriasis prevalence in Spain from 2018 to 2022, finding a significant increase in cases, particularly among older age groups.
- The estimated prevalence reached 1.9% in 2022, with a total rise of 43.3%, indicating stronger increases in both men and women, with men showing slightly higher rates.

Divergent trends in gastric cancer incidence by sex and age in Spain (1990-2019).
Rev Esp Enferm Dig
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines gastric cancer (GC) trends in Spain from 1990 to 2019, focusing on differences in incidence by sex and age.
- - While the total number of GC cases slightly increased, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) declined annually by 1.8% for both men and women, with men consistently having a higher burden of the disease.
- - Notably, there was a significant decrease in ASIR among younger adults (<35 years), but a concerning rise was found in young men (25-34 years) between 2014-2019, indicating a need for further exploration of risk factors specific to this group.

Mult Scler Relat Disord
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - From 1998 to 2022, MS hospitalization rates in Spain decreased by an annual average of -2.1%, with women showing a slightly higher decline (-2.3%) than men (-1.7%).
- - Joinpoint analysis indicated non-parallel trends with three distinct periods of stabilization and decline, while age-standardized rates showed an overall drop, with rates peaking in younger age groups (25-29 for men and 30-34 for women).
- - The research highlights that the risk of MS hospitalization is influenced by age, birth cohort, and sex, showing a significant decline despite an aging population, especially among cohorts born in the early 20th century.
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most -common skin cancer in Spain, yet national data on its incidence trends are limited. To analyse the trends in NMSC incidence in Spain from 1990 to 2019, examining variations by sex, age, period, and birth cohort. Data on NMSC incidence was sourced from the Global Health Data Exchange.

Methods: Data on asthma deaths and population were obtained from the National Institute of Statistics for the study period.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes lung cancer trends in Spain from 1990 to 2019, focusing on how age, period, and birth cohort affect incidence rates.
- It found that nearly 738,000 lung cancer cases were diagnosed, with an overall annual increase of 1.7%, but a rise in women’s incidence rates (2.5% annually) and a decline in men's rates (-0.6%).
- The results suggest a closing gender gap in lung cancer incidence due to decreasing smoking rates, highlighting the need for targeted prevention efforts for women and continued tobacco control measures.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) mortality trends in Spain from 1999 to 2022, focusing on sex and regional differences.
- The research revealed varying MDS mortality rates among men and women across different regions, with significant trends identified: initial decline until 2008, an increase until 2017, and a notable decrease thereafter.
- Key findings included regional variations in mortality trends, with some areas like Andalusia experiencing increases, while others like Aragon saw declines; men consistently faced higher mortality risks than women, underscoring the need for localized healthcare strategies.

Article Synopsis
- * Data revealed that while COPD deaths increased from 1980 to 1999, they began to decline from 1999 onward, although specific age groups in women showed significant mortality increases in recent years.
- * The findings indicate notable gender and age disparities in COPD mortality trends, with an alarming surge in mortality rates for younger women despite an overall downward trend.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines lung cancer mortality trends in Spain from 1982 to 2021, focusing on age-period-cohort effects.
- The analysis shows that in men, relative risk has decreased steadily for cohorts born after 1922, while women born post-Civil War experienced an initial rise in risk that later declined.
- The findings suggest that women's increased lung cancer rates may be linked to higher smoking prevalence, but trends in younger cohorts indicate a potential stabilization in mortality risk.
