Trends in NMSC-related number of incidence cases (a and b), deaths cases (c and d), and DALYs cases (e and f) by sex globally: observed (before 2019) and predicted (after 2019) numbers. Shading indicates if the rate remained stable (baseline reference), decreased by 1% per year (optimistic reference, lower limit), and increased by 1% per year (pessimistic reference, upper limit) based on the observed rate in 2019. Three methods are used in the prediction. The red line is calculated by the predicted rate of each 5 years group and the average population size of the 5 year group. The blue line method is to calculate the rate of each group in terms of the predicted rate of each 5 years group and the average population situation of the 5 year group. The yellow line is calculated by the predicted rate of each 5 years group and the annual population situation. Abbreviations: DALYs: disability-adjusted life years; NMSC: non-melanoma skin cancer
