ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the burden of pneumoconiosis in China through comparison with the United States, Germany and the world based on GBD 2017 data, and to provide references for direction and reform measures for the Pneumoconiosis Prevention and Control Battle and the Occupational Health Protection Action in China. Methods The indexes of disease burden for pneumoconiosis in China, the United States, Germany and the Global level from 1990 to 2017 on the basis of GBD 2017 was obtained, and epidemiological characteristics and trends of pneumoconiosis were analyzed to compare the differences in the disease burden of pneumoconiosis. The main reasons for pneumoconiosis were analyzed, and the strategies for the improvement of prevention and control policies were discussed. Results From 1990 to 2017, the prevalence of pneumoconiosis in China rose from 12.96/100 000 to 20.45/100 000, an increase of 57.79%. The years lived with disability rose from 1.95/100 000 to 3.05/100 000, with an increase of 56.41%. In 2017, the YLL/DALY of China's pneumoconiosis was 82.60%, and the years of life lost caused by premature death was still the main component of China's pneumoconiosis disease burden. In 2017, the standardized DALY rate and standardized YLL rate of occupational exposure to silicon in China accounted for 66.19% and 72.62% of the total burden of environmental occupational factors, respectively, which were higher than the United States (30.24%, 35.06%) and Germany (52.17%, 52.65%) ), as well as the world (50.95%, 54.80%). From 1990 to 2017, the standardized DALY rate of pneumoconiosis in China, the United States, Germany, and the world all showed a downward trend, with a decrease of 51.99%, 37.69%, 58.33%, and 48.20%, respectively. However, in 2017, the standardized DALY rate of China (12.57/100 000) was still higher than the United States (4.10/100 000), Germany (3.45/100 000), and the world (6.32/100 000). Conclusion Until at least 2017, the disease burden of pneumoconiosis in China was still higher than that of the United States, Germany and the world. It is necessary to learn from the experience of countries with better prevention and control effects, strengthen laws and regulations, and focus on dust control to prevent pneumoconiosis.
