The age demography of the respondent also implies a decreasing trend in the farming productivity in the near future.

Another study showed a downward trend in DLCO, gradually decreasing from 6 months to 1 and 2 years, with total lung capacity (TLC) also showing a decreasing trend, regardless of whether the patients were in the moderate-to-severe or critically ill group ( 57 ).

From 1990 to 2019, there was an increasing trend in incidence and deaths for esophageal, liver, and stomach cancer, while a decreasing trend was observed in colorectal, GBTC, and pancreatic cancer.

Regarding age groups, with “0–19 years” as the reference, the ORs showed a decreasing trend as follows: 20–39 years (OR=0.782, 95% CI=0.741–0.826), 40–59 years (OR=0.598, 95% CI=0.570–0.628), 60–79 years (OR=0.497, 95% CI=0.474–0.522), and ≥80 years (OR=0.285, 95% CI=0.269–0.302), indicating a decreasing trend with increasing age.
