Driven by population aging, tobacco use and air pollution, its disease burden remains severe. Zibo is a densely populated industrial city with a heavy lung cancer burden. Understanding the incidence and mortality trends and quantifying age-period-cohort effects are critical for targeted prevention and control. This study analyzed data from 2014 to 2024 to identify trends and high-risk populations to inform evidence-based intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to examine trends in lung cancer incidence and mortality among residents of Zibo from 2014 to 2024, evaluate the independent effects of age, period and birth cohort, identify high-risk populations and thereby provide evidence for developing targeted lung cancer prevention and intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Individual registration data on lung cancer incidence and mortality among registered residents in Zibo from 2014 to 2024 were obtained.

The age effect on lung cancer incidence first increased and then decreased with age, the period effect increased over time, and the cohort effect decreased with successive birth cohorts.
