[Cancer mortality, according to social indicators].
The age-standardized annual mortality rates for 1969/72 are analyzed for each of 183 districts which have been characterized socio-economically and demographically on the basis of the 1970 census. Discriminant analysis for several malignant tumours shows increased mortality in regions of greater population density (lung cancer) and, independently of this finding, in regions with a higher proportion of persons working in the "tertiary sector" (other malignant tumours).
