Abstract

Death rates from lung cancer in men are higher in Andalusia than in other Spanish regions. This study describes lung cancer mortality rates and their trends in Andalusia from 1975 through 2008. Data on lung cancer mortality were obtained from the Death Registry of Andalusia. For each gender, age group-specific and standardized (overall and truncated) rates were calculated by the direct method using the world standard population. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to identify points where a significant change in trends occurred. In men, short-term trends for age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) declined significantly from 2004 through 2008 for each age group < 80 years old. In women, the segmented joinpoint analysis showed a decrease from 1975 through 1998 in ASMRs (overall) (-0.6%, P < 0.05), followed by a marked increase (4.6%, P < 0.05). A decrease in male versus female mortality due to lung cancer is evident in Andalusia (Spain).
