| Abstract:: |
| Objective To estimate the lung cancer disease burden of residents caused by indoor radon exposure in living rooms in China, and to provide scientific basis for improving radon prevention and control policies and measures. Methods Based on the data from the national indoor radon monitoring survey, the study of lung cancer caused by indoor radon, and the basic data such as population and smoking, the attributable burden of disease calculation method was used to estimate the disease burden of lung cancer caused by indoor radon in China. Results In 2018, it was estimated that the years of life lost due to premature death (YLL), years of life lost due to health disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) due to indoor radon exposure were 5.109 3 million, 0.052 6 million and 5.161 9 million, respectively. DALY was highest in the 50-54 age group. The disease burden of indoor radon-induced lung cancer in smoking men was more than 9 times that of smoking women, and the disease burden of lung cancer in non-smoking women was more than 5 times that of non-smoking men. Smoking is closely related to the disease burden of indoor radon-induced lung cancer. Conclusions Indoor radon exposure is a major environmental risk factor associated with lung cancer burden in China. The health hazards of indoor radon require more attention and improved policy measures to address this challenge. |
