Download or read book Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the European Union and the European Economic Area 1993 1997 written by Peter Boyle and published by IARC Scientific Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is the second-most common cause of death (after cardiovascular diseases) in the majority of European countries and cancer control is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. It is an international issue and, thankfully, cancer epidemiology is one of the most fruitful areas of international cooperation in cancer research. The development of several new areas of cancer control, and in particular in cancer epidemiology and prevention, in Europe during the last few decades is closely related to co-operation among institutions and scientists from many countries. One of the most interesting features of cancer in Europe is its geographical patterns. Studies of the geographical patterns of cancer distribution in Europe have been carried out for over twenty years now. After several national atlases published in the 1980s, international atlases were published in the early 1990s, covering the countries of the European Economic Community and those of central and Eastern Europe. One clear message emerges from these works: that cancer risk does not respect national frontiers. This atlas is the result of the collaboration of a Scientific Committee and the National Vital Statistics Offices in each of the 28 countries covered. The five years covered by the atlas (1993-1997) provide mortality rates based on 5.5 million cancer deaths, representing the cancer experience in a population with 2.2 billion person-years of risk. The aim of this publication is not only to present cancer patterns in Europe but also to stimulate further studies on cancer epidemiology and generate hypotheses for analytical epidemiological studies. This publication is intended to draw the attention of medical practitioners, scientists, and politicians involved in public health care to important features of cancer in Europe, stimulate further study and lead to steps being taken to prevent the disease. Increasing prospects for prevention is, after all, a major goal in cancer research.

Download or read book Atlas of Mortality in Europe written by WHO European Centre for Environment and Health and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 1997 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Atlas does more than give national averages for all the main causes of death in the WHO European Region; it gives data on regions within countries and shows changes in mortality at this level between 1980/1981 and 1990/1991. Finally, it literally draws pictures of health in Europe, presenting the data collected in vivid and informative maps and bar charts. By showing differences in mortality from various causes in the European Region, the Atlas also indicates areas in which more study is needed to determine both the reasons for these differences and the most appropriate action to reduce them.

Download or read book Health Statistics written by European Commission and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains data on mortality in the 15 EU member states covering the years 1994 to 1996, based on official national statistical sources and government agencies and taken from Eurostat's NewCronos database. Information is analysed in terms of general mortality broken down by age group and sex; and the medical causes of death. The data are analysed at NUTS 2 level to take account of variations between regions of particular countries. Factors influencing pattern of mortality are intrinsic (age, sex), extrinsic (biological or social collective factors, living or working conditions) and individual (lifestyle, smoking, alcoholism, driving behaviour, sexual behaviour) and are to some extent cultural or economic. The data analysis identifies a significant reduction in mortality in the 15 EU states in the last century, although there are still marked differences between states and in mortality characteristics in relation to gender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Atlas utilizes 1950-94 mortality data & population estimates to prepare county-based & state economic area-based maps of cancer mortality. Rates per 100,000 person-years, directly standardized using the 1970 U.S. population, are calculated by race (whites, blacks) & sex for 40 forms of cancer. More than 250 computerized color-coded maps show variations in cancer rates during 1970-94 & compares them with corresponding maps for 1950-69. Summary tables & figures are also presented. Accompanying text describes the variations for specific cancers & suggests explanations based on the risk factors identified by analytic studies.
Download or read book The Atlas of Health Inequalities in Japan written by Tomoki Nakaya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new health atlas of Japan presents a series of maps about the health of the contemporary Japanese population, i.e. detailed maps of health indicators in small areas using cartograms. This is the first comprehensive small-area based health atlas about contemporary Japan using vital statistics from 1995-2014. Each map is supplemented with concise explanations written by leading epidemiologists and health geographers in Japan. The book employs various cutting-edge methods in spatial epidemiology, Bayesian spatial smoothing for the reliable mapping of mortality indices, advanced cartographic transformations using the concept of aerial cartograms, and summary statistics of socioeconomic health inequalities. The atlas highlights geographical aspects of social gradients in health by comparing mortality maps with distribution of deprivation index during the recent long-lasting economic stagnation period of Japan known as the lost decades. This health atlas will be a useful resource for international comparisons between Japan and other advanced countries in terms of health and related socioeconomic disparities between regions. It will be of interest to public health practitioners, administrators, researchers and students working on health geography and public health.

Download or read book International Handbook of Adult Mortality written by Richard G. Rogers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of unprecedented substantive, theoretical, methodological, and statistical developments and insights, and an in-depth examination of trends and patterns, in adult mortality around the world. With over two dozen chapters and more than 50 authors, this volume draws from top international mortality experts to provide one of the best overviews of life expectancy extant. The book documents remarkable gains in life expectancy, which stand out as one of the most important accomplishments of the twentieth century. Individuals in more developed countries can expect to live longer now than ever before, especially the Japanese who enjoy record-setting life expectancies. The book also explores unfortunate declines in life expectancy in selected countries brought on by such factors as infectious diseases; accidents, suicides, and homicides; and political and economic conflict and turmoil. This book synthesizes the wealth of mortality information available, clearly articulates the central findings to-date, identifies the most appropriate datasets and methods currently available, illuminates the central research questions, and develops an agenda to address these research questions. The authors carefully examine central factors related to mortality, including health behaviors, socioeconomic status, social relations, biomarkers, and genetic factors. The book will prove especially relevant to researchers, students, and policy makers within social and health sciences who want to better understand international trends and patterns in adult mortality.
