Das "Office for National Statistics" hat in Großbritannien erstmals einen Atlas der Krebserkrankungen auf den Britischen Inseln veröffentlicht. Die eindrucksvollen Daten stammen aus den Jahren 1991 bis 2000.
Einige der Karten kann man in der Großansicht im
Artikel des Daily Telegraph sehen.
Das Ergebnis lautet im Wesentlichen: Armut und niedriger sozialer Status bzw. schlechte Gesundheitsversorgung machen krank. Insbesondere Schottland hat überdurchschnittlich viele Krebserkrankungen und -tote.
The cancer maps show that bowel cancer rates for men and women were higher than average in Scotland and Northern Ireland and in men living in urban, northern England. Male and female lung cancer rates were high in central Scotland and northern England.
Cancers associated with drinking alcohol - of the lip, mouth and throat - were again more common in Scotland and northern England. There was also a high incidence of these cancers in Irish men.
Scotland also had higher than average rates of bladder cancer in women and in northern Scotland there was a higher than average incidence of breast cancer.
Andere Auffälligkeiten sind ein stark erhöhtes Hautkrebsrisiko in Südengland (Sonne) und in Schottland, was Experten auch auf den hohen Anteil hellhäutiger, rothaariger Menschen mit Sommersprossen in der schottischen Beölkerung zurückführen.
