Figure 1

(a) PMRs by age group for Filipino, non-Filipino Asian, and non-Hispanic white men, and (b) women. Older Filipino men have higher PMR compared to other men. At all ages, Filipino women have a much higher PMR than the comparison groups. PMR is defined as the proportion of deaths due to thyroid cancer in a specified racial/ethnic/gender group divided by the proportion of deaths due to thyroid cancer for all NHWs.
