Mortality data on lung cancer among the black populations of South Africa, newly available from the first ever nation-wide enumerations, are analysed for age-specific rates and significant geographical and intertribal variations. This study finds a higher incidence at younger ages than among whites, an urban excess similar to other population groups in South Africa and a higher incidence among the Xhosa than Zulu. It is suggested that an anti-smoking campaign is urgently required among blacks in South Africa.
南非首次全国人口普查新获得的有关黑人肺癌死亡率的数据，针对特定年龄死亡率以及显著的地理和部落间差异进行了分析。本研究发现，黑人肺癌的发病率在较年轻年龄段高于白人，城市地区发病率过高的情况与南非其他人群相似，科萨人（Xhosa）的发病率高于祖鲁人（Zulu）。研究表明，南非黑人迫切需要开展一场反吸烟运动。
