Abstract:
As a part of mortality risk study from 1969 to 1987 the relative mortality risk (odds ratio) by malignancies, stratified to age groups is calculated for the eastern countries of the Federal Republic of Germany. With a twofold higher common mortality risk of males in this period, the relative mortality risk exceeds the value of 2.0 only in the female age groups between 25 to 65 years with increasing tendency. Possible reasons for this development are discussed.
