Cancer mortality trends from 1950 to 1968 were studied for the New Jersey-New York-Philadelphia metropolitan region and the remainder of the United States for 65 age- sex- and race-standardized causes. Usuing total population, age-adjusted rates for the years 1950--1954, 1955--1959, 1960--1964 and 1965--1969, the findings show a strong tendency for the region and the remainder of the nation to be moving toward similar mortality patterns. White and nonwhite male rates in the remainder of the nation are rapidly catching up to the study region's rates. Female rates are converging, although less rapidly.
对新泽西-纽约-费城大都市区以及美国其他地区1950年至1968年期间65种年龄、性别和种族标准化病因的癌症死亡率趋势进行了研究。利用1950 - 1954年、1955 - 1959年、1960 - 1964年和1965 - 1969年的总人口年龄调整率，研究结果显示该地区和美国其他地区有朝着相似死亡率模式发展的强烈趋势。美国其他地区的白人男性和非白人男性死亡率正在迅速赶上研究地区的水平。女性死亡率也在趋同，尽管速度较慢。
