This study was a retrospective case series of melanoma taken from pathology records. The denominator population was the nonMaori population of the old Tauranga Hospital Board area. The age standardised incidence over the period 1980-9 was 33.0 per 100,000, males 31.4, females 36.8. Age specific rates showed a double peak in middle aged and elderly age groups due to female rates peaking at 40 to 59 and male rates peaking at 65+. Younger people presented with thinner lesions than old people, women had thinner lesions than men and thin lesions became increasingly common during the decade, being approximately 50% of lesions in 1988-9. The incidence increased by 2.25 times in ten years and Tauranga incidence is between that of Queensland and other Australian states.
本研究是一项从病理记录中选取黑色素瘤病例的回顾性病例系列研究。分母人群为旧陶朗加医院董事会区域的非毛利人群。1980 - 1989年期间的年龄标准化发病率为每10万人33.0例，男性为31.4例，女性为36.8例。年龄别发病率在中年和老年年龄组呈现双峰，这是因为女性发病率在40至59岁达到峰值，男性发病率在65岁以上达到峰值。年轻人的病灶比老年人薄，女性的病灶比男性薄，并且在这十年间薄病灶越来越常见，在1988 - 1989年约占病灶的50%。发病率在十年间增长了2.25倍，陶朗加的发病率介于昆士兰和澳大利亚其他州之间。
