Analyzing the cancer mortality-to-incidence ratios and health expenditures in the aging population: a 20-year comparative study across high-income countries by Majed Ramadan, Shadell AlGhamdi, Rawiah Alsiary

“…The study aims to examine the association between cancer mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIR) with healthcare expenditures (HE), and human development index score for individuals 70 years old or older.MethodThis is an epidemiological study using publicly available data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) for six over the years 1990–2019. A generalized linear model was employed to examine the association between MIR, and health expenditures and health development index score.ResultsIncluded countries showed a statistically significant negative association between MIR and both HE, and HE, indicating that higher HDI and HE are associated with decreased MIR with the highest decrease was for China, the coefficient for HDI is −1.29 (95% CI: –1.35 to −1.24, p < 0.0001), the coefficient for HE is −0.103 (95% CI: –0.17 to −0.03, p < 0.0001). …”
