Cancer incidence of the nasal cavities in Inuit men are high (ASR=3.0 1984-1988), and higher than seen in Denmark, Connecticut (USA) and Canada. Lung cancer incidence is among the highest in the world, for both men and women, and larynx cancer among the lowest. The smoking pattern among Inuit, possibly combined with co-factors related to environment and diet, are believed to be the relevant causal factors.
因纽特男性鼻腔癌发病率较高（1984 - 1988年年龄标准化发病率为3.0），高于丹麦、美国康涅狄格州和加拿大。肺癌发病率在世界范围内位居前列，无论男性还是女性皆是如此，而喉癌发病率则处于最低水平。因纽特人的吸烟模式，可能与环境和饮食相关的辅助因素共同作用，被认为是相关的致病因素。
