Epidemiology of Asbestosis between 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 Periods in Colombia: Descriptive Study.

During two five-year periods, the cFr of asbestosis was higher in men; between the first and second five-year periods, it increased significantly, especially in urbanized geographic areas and in populations aged ≥45 years. The estimates possibly reflect the effect of disease latency or the expected impact of public health policies to monitor asbestos exposure and complications.
