This study compares the lung cancer mortality rates among males in the years 1975-1977 and 1987-1989 in Catalonia and Spain with other European countries selected for their geographical proximity. Adjusted calculations using the direct method have been made for male lung cancer mortality. Adjusted truncated rates for the age groups 0-44, 45-64 and more than 65 years were also calculated, as well as percent differences between the mortality rates of each period studied. Lung cancer mortality rates for males in Catalonia and Spain show relative increments of 46.58% and 52.41%, respectively. In contrast, lung cancer mortality in countries such as England-Wales and Switzerland have decreased. Moreover, the 0-44 year age group in Catalonia and Spain shows the absolute highest rates in the 1987-1989 period among all the countries analyzed. The marked contrast of the lung cancer mortality rate evolution in Catalonia and Spain compared with some other European countries and the considerable increase of the mortality in younger age groups indicate the need to intensify lung cancer control measures.
本研究比较了1975 - 1977年和1987 - 1989年加泰罗尼亚和西班牙男性的肺癌死亡率与因地理位置相近而选取的其他欧洲国家的情况。已采用直接法对男性肺癌死亡率进行了校正计算。还计算了0 - 44岁、45 - 64岁和65岁以上年龄组的校正截短率，以及各研究时期死亡率之间的百分比差异。加泰罗尼亚和西班牙男性的肺癌死亡率分别显示出46.58%和52.41%的相对增幅。相比之下，英格兰 - 威尔士和瑞士等国的肺癌死亡率有所下降。此外，在1987 - 1989年期间，加泰罗尼亚和西班牙的0 - 44岁年龄组在所有分析国家中显示出绝对最高的死亡率。加泰罗尼亚和西班牙肺癌死亡率演变情况与其他一些欧洲国家形成的显著对比，以及较年轻年龄组死亡率的大幅上升，表明有必要加强肺癌控制措施。
