- Title
Cohort mortality and prostate cancer.
- Authors
Barrett, John C.; Barrett, J C
- Abstract
By regression analysis, the mortality from prostate cancer in England and Wales in the period 1951–70 is analysed as a function of age, date of birth and date of death. The peak mortality occurred for the cohort of men born around 1886. Age and date of birth are the most important factors and date of death does not appear to be significant.
