Comparison between the age-adjusted death rates in 1964-65 from cancers of different sites and the annual consumption of cigarettes, solid fuel, tea and coffee as measured by trade statistics in 20 countries reveals the existence of significant correlations.Cigarette consumption per adult in the population is positively related with lung and bladder cancer in males and insignificantly with lung in females. Negative relations are indicated with the liver and biliary passages, prostate and uterus.Solid fuel is positively related with the intestine, lung and bladder in both sexes, with leukaemia in males and with breast in females. Nagative associations are indicated with the stomach.Tea is positively related with intestine except rectum in both sexes and with larynx, lung and breast in females. Negative associations are indicated with the stomach in both sexes and with uterus and leukaemia in females.Coffee is positively related with the pancreas, prostate and leukaemia in males and with ovary and leukaemia in females.Specially noteworthy were the contrasts between the intestine and stomach in their associations with solid fuel, cigarettes and tea for which a possible explanation has been suggested.
1964 - 1965年20个国家不同部位癌症的年龄调整死亡率与通过贸易统计数据衡量的香烟、固体燃料、茶和咖啡年消费量之间的比较显示存在显著相关性。人群中成年人均香烟消费量与男性肺癌和膀胱癌呈正相关，与女性肺癌呈微弱相关。与肝脏、胆道、前列腺和子宫呈负相关。固体燃料与男女的肠道、肺和膀胱呈正相关，与男性白血病和女性乳腺癌呈正相关。与胃癌呈负相关。茶与男女除直肠外的肠道呈正相关，与女性喉癌、肺癌和乳腺癌呈正相关。与男女胃癌以及女性子宫癌和白血病呈负相关。咖啡与男性胰腺癌、前列腺癌和白血病以及女性卵巢癌和白血病呈正相关。特别值得注意的是肠道和胃在与固体燃料、香烟和茶的关联方面的差异，对此已提出了一种可能解释。
