Risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) include hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV), excessive alcohol consumption, rare genetic disorders and diabetes/obesity. The population attributable fractions (PAF) of these factors, however, have not been investigated in population-based studies in the United States.
Persons ≥68 years diagnosed with HCC (n=6,991) between 1994 and 2007 were identified in the SEER-Medicare database. A 5% random sample (n=255,702) of persons residing in SEER locations were selected for comparison. For each risk factor, odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and PAFs were calculated.
As anticipated, the risk of HCC was increased in relationship to each factor: HCV (OR 39.89, 95% CI: 36.29-43.84), HBV (OR 11.17, 95% CI: 9.18-13.59), alcohol-related disorders (OR 4.06, 95% CI: 3.82-4.32), rare metabolic disorders (OR 3.45, 95% CI: 2.97-4.02), and diabetes and/or obesity (OR 2.47, 95% CI: 2.34-2.61). The PAF of all factors combined was 64.5% (males 65.6%; females 62.2%). The PAF was highest among Asians (70.1%) and lowest among black persons (52.4%). Among individual factors, diabetes/obesity had the greatest PAF (36.6%), followed by alcohol-related disorders (23.5%), HCV (22.4%), HBV (6.3%) and rare genetic disorders (3.2%). While diabetes/obesity had the greatest PAF among both males (36.4%) and females (36.7%), alcohol-related disorders had the second greatest PAF among males (27.8%) and HCV the second greatest among females (28.1%). Diabetes/obesity had the greatest PAF among whites (38.9%) and Hispanics (38.1%), while HCV had the greatest PAF among Asians (35.4%) and blacks (34.9%). The second greatest PAF was alcohol-related disorders in whites (25.6%), Hispanics (30.1%) and blacks (and 18.5%) and HBV in Asians (28.5%).
The dominant risk factors for HCC in the United States among persons ≥68 years differ by sex and race/ethnicity. Overall, eliminating diabetes/obesity could reduce the incidence of HCC more than the elimination of any other factor.
肝细胞癌(HCC)的危险因素包括乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎病毒(HBV、HCV)、过量饮酒、罕见的遗传疾病和糖尿病/肥胖症。然而,在美国基于人群的研究中,这些因素的人群归因分数(PAF)尚未得到调查。
在 SEER-Medicare 数据库中确定了 1994 年至 2007 年间诊断为 HCC(n=6991)的≥68 岁的患者。选择 SEER 地点居住的人群的 5%随机样本(n=255702)进行比较。对于每个危险因素,计算比值比(OR)、95%置信区间(95%CI)和 PAF。
正如预期的那样,每种因素的 HCC 风险都增加:HCV(OR 39.89,95%CI:36.29-43.84)、HBV(OR 11.17,95%CI:9.18-13.59)、酒精相关疾病(OR 4.06,95%CI:3.82-4.32)、罕见代谢疾病(OR 3.45,95%CI:2.97-4.02)和糖尿病和/或肥胖症(OR 2.47,95%CI:2.34-2.61)。所有因素综合的 PAF 为 64.5%(男性 65.6%;女性 62.2%)。亚洲人的 PAF 最高(70.1%),黑人的 PAF 最低(52.4%)。在个别因素中,糖尿病/肥胖症的 PAF 最高(36.6%),其次是酒精相关疾病(23.5%)、HCV(22.4%)、HBV(6.3%)和罕见遗传疾病(3.2%)。虽然糖尿病/肥胖症在男性(36.4%)和女性(36.7%)中的 PAF 最高,但酒精相关疾病在男性中的 PAF 排名第二(27.8%),而 HCV 在女性中的 PAF 排名第二(28.1%)。糖尿病/肥胖症在白人(38.9%)和西班牙裔(38.1%)中的 PAF 最高,而 HCV 在亚洲人(35.4%)和黑人(34.9%)中的 PAF 最高。第二大 PAF 是白人(25.6%)、西班牙裔(30.1%)和黑人(和 18.5%)中的酒精相关疾病以及亚洲人的 HBV(28.5%)。
≥68 岁人群中,美国 HCC 的主要危险因素因性别和种族/民族而异。总体而言,消除糖尿病/肥胖症可能比消除任何其他因素更能降低 HCC 的发病率。
