Abstract

Louisiana became of epidemiological concern because mortality rates due to respiratory system cancers (RSC) in white males were the highest in the nation according to Mason and McKay's 1950-1969 data. Of Louisiana's 64 parishes (counties), 34 had rates in the top 10 per cent nationally. To update parish-specific rates of mortality attributable to RSC in Louisiana, and to investigate clustering and the stability of geographic trends over time, we determined rates for 1967-1976.
