To define demographic characteristics of patients with laryngeal cancer in central Serbia, and to investigate possible relationships between their socioeconomical status and the appearance of laryngeal cancer.
100 patients (cases) with histologically verified laryngeal cancer were investigated. The control group consisted of 100 patients (controls) having no cancer. A questionnaire was filled in by both cases and controls and comparison between the groups was carried out by individual matching of demographic characteristics and socioeconomical status.
91% of the cases and controls were male (mean age 60 years). Most of the cases had lower educational level and poorer socioeconomical status compared to controls, whilst no difference was found between the 2 groups concerning their living in urban or rural environment.
It was not possible to correlate urban environment (air pollution) as risk factor. People of lower educational level and poor socioeconomical status had increased risk of getting laryngeal cancer.
确定塞尔维亚中部喉癌患者的人口统计学特征,并调查其社会经济状况与喉癌发病之间的可能关系。
对100例经组织学证实的喉癌患者(病例组)进行调查。对照组由100例无癌症患者(对照组)组成。病例组和对照组均填写问卷,并通过对人口统计学特征和社会经济状况进行个体匹配来进行组间比较。
病例组和对照组中91%为男性(平均年龄60岁)。与对照组相比,大多数病例的教育水平较低,社会经济状况较差,而两组在城市或农村环境居住方面未发现差异。
无法将城市环境(空气污染)作为危险因素进行关联。教育水平较低和社会经济状况较差的人群患喉癌的风险增加。
