Young Adults and Alcohol-Associated Liver Cancer: Incidence and Death from 2000 to 2021.

Background/objectives: The incidence and mortality of early-onset cancers have been rising in recent decades. While epidemiological studies have examined various types of cancer, updated global data on alcohol-attributable primary liver cancer (PLC) in young adults remains limited.

Methods: This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study spanning 2000 to 2021 to evaluate the age-standardized incidence, mortality, and corresponding rates of alcohol-attributable PLC among young adults aged 15-49 years.

Global burden of HBV-related liver disease: Primary liver cancer due to chronic HBV infection increased in over one-third of countries globally from 2000 to 2021.

Backgrounds Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver disease ranks as the seventh leading cause of mortality. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, global disparities in the burden of primary liver cancer (PLC) persist. We evaluate global trends in the prevalence, incidence, and death of HBV-related liver disease.

Disproportionately Increasing Incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Female Patients and the Elderly: An Update Analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Introduction: To update the global burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021.

Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease 2021 were analyzed to assess the IBD burden.

Results: In 2021, there were 375,140 new cases and 3.

Geographical and sociodemographic epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in young females from 2010 to 2019.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) represents a significant health threat worldwide. However, there are deficiencies in large-scale epidemiological research focusing on these issues, especially among young women. We aim to examine the trend of IBD in young females globally.

Global and regional burden of alcohol-associated liver disease and alcohol use disorder in the elderly.

Background & Aims: Alcohol-associated liver diseases (ALDs) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) pose a global health risk. AUD is underrecognized in the elderly, and the burden of AUD complications, including ALD, may increase with aging populations and rising alcohol intake. However, there is a lack of epidemiological evidence on AUD and ALD in the elderly.

Effects of Home-Based Nine-Square Step Exercises for Fall Prevention in Thai Community-Dwelling Older Adults during a COVID-19 Lockdown: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Study.

The deterioration of muscle strength in aging has been associated with fall risks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults were restricted from doing outdoor activities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Nine-Square Step Exercises (NSSE) on improving physical performance and balance in older adults at risk of falling.
