Decreases in Smoking-Related Cancer Mortality Rates Are Associated with Birth Cohort Effects in Korean Men.

摘要: Background: This study aimed to examine trends in smoking-related cancer mortality rates and investigate the effect birth cohort on Korean men. Methods: The number of deaths corresponding population numbers were obtained from Statistics Korea for period 1984-2013. Joinpoint regression analysis was used detect changes age-standardized rates. Birth-cohort specific illustrated by 5 year age groups. Results: oropharyngeal decreased 2003 2013 (annual percent change (APC): -3.1 (95% CI, -4.6 -1.6)) lung cancers 2002 (APC -2.4 CI -2.7 -2.2)). esophageal declined 1994 -2.5 -4.1 -0.8)) -5.2 -5.7 -4.7)) laryngeal 1995 (average annual (AAPC): -3.3 -4.7 -1.8)). By group, except have changed earlier decrease younger group. birth-cohort age-period-cohort consistently showed that all cohorts born after 1930 reduced cancers. Conclusions: In men, decreased. Our findings also indicate current decreases mainly been due a effect, which suggest smoking
