摘要: The potential protective effect of selenium status on the risk developing cancer has been examined in animal and epidemiologic studies. This ecological study investigated association between U.S. county forage site- sex-specific mortality rates (1950-1969) using weighted least squares regression. Consistent, significant (p less than .01) inverse associations were observed for cancers lung, rectum, bladder, esophagus, cervix a model limited to rural counties breast, corpus uteri all counties. No consistent positive models. remarkable degree consistency strengthens likelihood causal relationship low an increased mortality.
