Estimated coefficients for lung cancer death rate by age and sex
| Age | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| 50–54 | 0.297 | 0.207 |
| 55–59 | 0.186 | 0.175 |
| 60–64 | 0.111 | 0.087 |
| 65–69 | 0.073 | 0.085 |
| 70–74 | 0.046 | 0.069 |
| 75–79 | 0.027 | 0.056 |
| 80–84 | 0.016 | 0.039 |
Notes: Estimated using negative binomial regression in Eq. (1.) Includes controls and age interactions. The exponential of the above coefficients represents the proportional increase in the death rate for other causes associated with a 1 per 1,000 increase in the lung cancer death rate.
