The purpose of this article is to introduce a special issue dedicated to research at the intersection of aging and disability. We provide some context for the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration among aging and disability researchers and summarize the nine articles in this issue. Articles in the special issue are centered around several overarching themes. These include meaningful social and community participation, goals and values in the context of disability, and the reach and effectiveness of programs and policies on rehabilitation and service utilization. As care models continue to merge aging and disability services, collaboration among traditional aging and disability research networks can lead to improved outcomes for adults aging with long-term disability.

Global, regional, and national burden of esophageal cancer: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
Biomark Res
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China.
Background And Objective: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the seventh most prevalent cancer globally and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality. This study aimed to provide an updated stratified assessment of rates in EC incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021 by sex, age, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) at global, regional, and national levels, as well as to project the future trends of EC both globally and regionally.
Methods: Data about age-standardized rates (ASRs) of incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASDR), probability of death (ASPoD) and DALYs (ASDALYRs) of EC were obtained from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.
Growing old before growing rich: a scoping review on ageing-related policy interventions from the WHO Southeast Asian Region.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Department of Social and Health Innovation, Prasanna School of Public Health, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Background: WHO Southeast Asian Region (WHO SEARO) is home to 1.94 billion people accounting for one-fourth of the global population.
Objective: The primary objective of this scoping review is to describe the various policy interventions implemented in countries of the WHO SEARO to address the consequences of ageing.
Past, present and future of injury prevalence in high-income countries: insights and projections up to 2030 from the Global Burden of Disease Study.

Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Background: Injury prevalence is a metric which can be used to understand healthcare utilisation and prioritise injuries based on the magnitude of the injury rate. Given the ageing population in high-income countries and subsequently ageing of the injured population, the probability of long-term or permanent consequences of injuries is also likely to increase. By understanding past trends and exploiting patterns of prevalence injury rates (PIRs), future PIRs can be predicted.

Article Synopsis
- Patients with rare cancers experience longer diagnostic delays and fewer treatment options, which can negatively affect their employment status both before and after diagnosis.
- A study comparing 16,203 rare cancer patients to 23,295 common cancer patients found that those with rare cancers were more likely to become work-disabled before diagnosis and more likely to pursue self-employment after diagnosis.
- Younger patients and those on temporary contracts were more likely to transition to self-employment, highlighting the need for improved awareness and care for rare cancer to minimize negative work outcomes.
Disease burden and trends of lung cancer attributable to nickel among Chinese and global population: a cross-sectional study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Clinical Medicine, Jiangsu Health Vocational College, Nanjing, China.
Background: Nickel is a well-established carcinogen, and China stands as a significant producer of nickel compounds. Nickel-associated lung cancer is increasingly acknowledged as a pressing public health concern. This study presents a comprehensive analysis at temporal, spatial, and population levels utilizing the most recent data from GBD 2019 to estimate the disease burden of nickel-associated lung cancer from 1990 to 2019, and make predictions to 2035.
