Tóm tắt

INTRODUCTION: The temporal relationship between smoking exposure and bladder cancer (BC) diagnosis remains ill defined. This study aims to cross-correlate and temporally associate changes in US tobacco tax and consumption with BC incidence. METHODS: US tobacco consumption, tobacco tax data, and BC incidence rates from 1975 to 2019 were retrieved. A cross-correlation lag time for tobacco tax and consumption on BC incidence was calculated while controlling for national health expenditure. Proxied lag weighted semi-log linear models were used to determine the rate of change in BC incidence rates associated with a 1% change in tobacco tax percentages on a national and state level. RESULTS: A 1% increase in tobacco tax was associated with a 1.77% decrease in BC incidence over a 6-year period ( CONCLUSIONS: Declining US tobacco consumption may indicate significant reduction in BC incidence through 2047. Primary prevention through adaptation of state-legislated tax changes may contribute to a reduction in BC incidence in states lying within the Central United States. A national tobacco tax initiative can be considered given the improvement in population health.
