title: Cancer: a statistical relationship with road accident deaths and driving.
abstract: Findings based on a number of statistical studies indicate that road accident deaths (RAD) are a significant measure of vehicular usage. All forms of cancer have highly significant relationships with RAD for males and females, indicating a possible common cause. Circulatory complaints also show the same highly significant correlation. The relationship between cerebrovascular disease (CV) and total cancer (TC), is discussed for Australia, the USA and France, for both males and females, by age group. Indications are that fibrin (as a result of the reduction in coagulation time while driving) might be a factor involved in causation of all cancers.
