While incidence rates are rising, mortality trends vary globally, especially in Europe.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To analyse melanoma mortality trends across 28 European countries from 1992 to 2021, focusing on sex and specific age groups (&amp;lt; 45, 45\u201374 and \u2265 75\u2005years).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A longitudinal ecological study was conducted, using melanoma mortality data from the Global Burden of Disease database (1992\u20132021). Data from 28 European countries were categorized into four regions. We stratified mortality data by age and sex, calculating age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) using the 2013 European Standard Population. Joinpoint regression identified trend changes, analysing the independent effects of age, period and cohort factors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mortality rates varied significantly by country, sex and age. Patients aged &amp;gt; 75\u2005years accounted for increased ASMRs until 2015, while younger patients\u2019 mortality rates have declined since the 1990s. Notably, ASMRs for those aged &amp;gt; 75\u2005years have stabilized or decreased in recent years. ASMRs rose for both male and female patients across all cohorts born up to the 1950s and 1960s, levelling off afterwards. However, recent cohorts in Central and Eastern Europe, along with men in Northern Europe, show an upward trend.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study highlights the complexity of melanoma mortality trends and the significant impacts of age and sex.
