Can we apply the attributable proportion calculated using WHO AirQ+ to estimate DALY from lung cancer mortality?

06 March 2023 1 2K Report

If I have the total burden of disease e.g. mortality of lung cancer in adult age 25+ in DALY, can I estimate the lung cancer DALY due to air pollution PM2.5 using attributable proportion calculated from WHO AirQ+ software? If possible, what is the equation? Thank you

James Leigh

The GBD paper Lancet 400:563-591 (2022) (copy on my RG site) gives number of lung cancer DALYs due to air pollution in Fig 1 p567.

Detailed methods in paper .
