Core Tip	This study is the first to examine the incidence and mortality trends of UGIC in Hebei Province. Data were collected from 21 population-based cancer registries covering 15.25% of the total population of Hebei Province in 2013. An age-period-cohort model was established to analyse the incidence rate of UGIC in a high-risk area of Hebei Province (Cixian). Additionally, we established the grey system model to predict the mortality rates of UGIC in high-risk areas of Hebei Province (Cixian and Shexian). The aim of the study was to provide epidemiological evidence for developing strategies for UGIC prevention and control.
