We calculated age-adjusted incidence rates per 100,000 by religion (Mormon, non-Mormon) for Utah (United States) using the 49,182 cancer cases occurring between 1971-85. For all causes of cancer, the rate in Utah for male members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons) was about 24 percent less than the comparable US rate. There was a 50-percent lower rate of cancers associated with cigarette smoking among LDS men. Non-LDS (NLDS) men in Utah experienced an incidence of smoking-associated cancers slightly higher than other US men. LDS men had an incidence of those cancers not associated with smoking slightly lower than US men, and NLDS men had a 40-percent higher rate than US men because of higher rates of melanoma and cancers of the lip and prostate gland. LDS women had an all-sites cancer rate 24 percent below the comparable US rate, and a 60-percent lower rate of smoking-associated cancers. The incidence of cancer not associated with smoking was 20 percent lower for LDS women compared with US women and was the result of lower rates of cancers of the colon, breast, and uterine cervix. NLDS women had a 13-percent higher incidence of cancers not associated with smoking because of higher rates of cancers of the lip and breast.
我们利用1971年至1985年间发生在犹他州（美国）的49182例癌症病例，按宗教信仰（摩门教、非摩门教）计算了每10万人的年龄调整发病率。对于所有癌症病因，耶稣基督后期圣徒教会（LDS或摩门教）的男性成员在犹他州的发病率比美国的可比发病率低约24%。LDS男性中与吸烟相关的癌症发病率低50%。犹他州的非LDS男性吸烟相关癌症的发病率略高于其他美国男性。LDS男性中与吸烟无关的癌症发病率略低于美国男性，而由于黑色素瘤、唇癌和前列腺癌的发病率较高，非LDS男性的发病率比美国男性高40%。LDS女性的所有部位癌症发病率比美国的可比发病率低24%，与吸烟相关的癌症发病率低60%。与美国女性相比，LDS女性中与吸烟无关的癌症发病率低20%，这是由于结肠癌、乳腺癌和宫颈癌的发病率较低。由于唇癌和乳腺癌的发病率较高，非LDS女性中与吸烟无关的癌症发病率高13%。
