A multistage machine learning framework with Shapley additive explanations was used to screen exposure-related risk factors, and machine learning time-series models were used to project the future burden of lower respiratory infections.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lower respiratory infection incidence and prevalence declined universally; however, mortality trends were heterogeneous (rising in South Korea and falling in others). China demonstrated the largest reduction in incidence. Mongolia demonstrated the steepest decline in prevalence; however, it continued to have a high burden of disability-adjusted life years in 2023. Exposure to secondhand smoke was the most important risk factor, whereas zinc\/iron deficiency prevailed in low sociodemographic index settings; the lower respiratory infections burden had a nonlinear inverse association with the sociodemographic index, with population aging as a key driver. Projections demonstrated a continued decline in the overall burden of lower respiratory infections, although mortality rates were projected to increase in South Korea.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The burden of lower respiratory infections has reduced substantially in East Asia over three decades; however, population aging has resulted in divergent mortality trends.
