In Japan, the mortality rate from chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis is forecasted to steadily increase from 16.6 male deaths per 100,000 men in 2024 to 17.2 in 2028. This reflects a gradual year-on-year growth, highlighting a consistent upward trend. Comparing the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a slight rise.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in healthcare interventions and public health policies aimed at mitigating risk factors such as alcohol consumption, hepatitis infections, and fatty liver disease. These measures could influence the pace of the projected increase in mortality rates.
