This study explored the potential influence of increasing immigration to the United States (US) on US cervical cancer mortality trends.
Mortality data were derived from the National Center for Health Statistics' Detailed Mortality File. Population estimates were obtained from the US Bureau of the Census. Age-adjusted cervical cancer mortality rates were calculated for women living in the US according to place of birth.
From 1985 to 1996, deaths and death rates from cervical cancer increased for foreign-born women and decreased for US-born women. Increases in death rates among foreign-born women were highest in the South. Cervical cancer deaths and death rates for US-born women decreased uniformly in all regions.
Cervical cancer mortality rates have increased among foreign-born women in the United States, and have influenced overall US cervical cancer mortality trends. Cervical cancer control efforts should be intensified in areas of the United States with large foreign-born communities.
本研究探讨了美国移民增加对美国宫颈癌死亡率趋势的潜在影响。
死亡率数据来自美国国家卫生统计中心的详细死亡率文件。人口估计数取自美国人口普查局。根据出生地计算了在美国生活的女性的年龄调整宫颈癌死亡率。
1985年至1996年，外国出生女性的宫颈癌死亡人数和死亡率上升，而美国出生女性的则下降。外国出生女性死亡率上升幅度在南部最高。美国出生女性的宫颈癌死亡人数和死亡率在所有地区均呈下降趋势。
在美国，外国出生女性的宫颈癌死亡率有所上升，并影响了美国宫颈癌的总体死亡率趋势。在美国有大量外国出生人口的地区，应加强宫颈癌防治工作。
