Implication

Analysis reveals increasing incidence and shifting mortality trends in geriatric digestive system cancers, indicating persistent disparities by socio-demographic index.

Key Points

Incidence of geriatric digestive system cancers rose substantially, with 3,854,209 cases by 2021.
Age-standardized mortality rate declined to 270.14, particularly for esophageal and gastric cancers.
Analysis using decomposition method highlighted significant factors impacting cancer burden shifts.
High-risk factors include smoking, diet, and metabolic conditions such as high body mass index.
