Background: Chronic noise exposure poses a remarkable public health concern, drawing attention to its impacts on the brain. Ferroptosis is involved in several brain-related diseases. However, the role of ferroptosis in the effects of chronic noise on the brain remains elusive.

The present work aimed to analyze the burden of three common RIs using the updated data of the GBD 2019, which would inform policy-making.
Methods: Data on cyclist road injuries (CRIs), motorcyclist road injuries (MRIs), and motor vehicle road injuries (MVRIs) were extracted from the GBD 2019.
Article Synopsis
- Asbestosis, a lung disease caused by long-term asbestos exposure, remains a significant public health challenge, with 36,339 new cases and 3,572 deaths reported globally in 2019.
- From 1990 to 2019, while the overall incidence and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) of asbestosis showed a slight decline, the mortality rates increased, particularly among certain demographics and regions.
- The findings indicate the need for targeted, cost-effective public health strategies to address the uneven burden of asbestosis, especially in high-impact countries like the United States, India, and China.
