title: [Loss of life expectancy analysis for cancer risk in Tianjin area].
abstract: Loss of Life Expectancy was proposed as the single metric for health risk assessment. Based on the statistical data of population in Tianjin, it was calculated that the unit cancer risk (10(-5)) equivalents to 58.47 and 66.82 minutes of life expectancy loss for male and female, respectively. The results depend strongly on the background rate of cancer, with little response for associated parameters.
