Trends for age-specific liver cancer incidence and mortality rates by area and gender in China, 2000 to 2014 (%)

Age group (year)	All areas				Urban areas				Rural areas
	Both	Male	Female		Both	Male	Female		Both	Male	Female
ASIR, age-standardized incidence rate using world Segi’s standard population; ASMR, age-standardized mortality rate using world Segi’s standard population; *, average annual percent change during 2000 to 2014 is significantly different from zero (P<0.05).
