Implication

Population-based study finds rising non-liver chronic disease rates in people with chronic hepatitis B, highlighting the need for integrated noncommunicable disease management.

Key Points

To examine shifts in age structure and quantify the burden of non-liver noncommunicable comorbidities among individuals with chronic hepatitis B virus infection from 1990 to 2019.
Extracted epidemiological data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 dataset covering 31 countries and areas in the Western Pacific Region.
Estimated ageing trajectories and trends in the prevalence of 31 non-liver noncommunicable diseases among the HBV-infected population compared with the general population from 1990 to 2019.
The proportion of individuals aged 60 years or older grew faster in the HBV-infected population than in the general population, while the proportion younger than 19 years dropped sharply.
Prevalence increased for 29 of 31 evaluated non-liver conditions in the HBV-infected cohort, with the largest increases observed for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (789.94%), prostate cancer (512.40%), and kidney cancer (411.34%).
Non-liver comorbidity prevalence rose faster among HBV-infected individuals than in the general population, particularly in countries experiencing rapid demographic ageing.
