Age standardised incidence and mortality rates were calculated for breast cancer for the Auckland area. Incidence of female breast cancer for 1981-4 was significantly higher in Auckland compared with all New Zealand, with a standardised incidence ratio of 1.11. While total incidence was the same across the three Auckland districts, there were wide discrepancies in mortality rates. Women in Takapuna had a far lower risk of dying of breast cancer compared with all New Zealand for 1981-6 and had a standardised mortality ratio of 0.86. Central Auckland and south Auckland women had increased risks--1.10 and 1.18 respectively. Similar discrepancies were evident in the important 45-64 age group. Possible reasons for the reported differences are discussed with socioeconomic factors seeming the most likely agency.
计算了奥克兰地区乳腺癌的年龄标准化发病率和死亡率。1981 - 1984年奥克兰女性乳腺癌发病率显著高于整个新西兰，标准化发病率比为1.11。虽然奥克兰三个地区的总发病率相同，但死亡率存在很大差异。1981 - 1986年，塔卡普纳的女性死于乳腺癌的风险远低于整个新西兰，标准化死亡率比为0.86。奥克兰市中心和奥克兰南部的女性风险增加——分别为1.10和1.18。在重要的45 - 64岁年龄组中也存在类似差异。文中讨论了所报告差异的可能原因，社会经济因素似乎是最有可能的因素。
