Abstract:
This study was an attempt to account for the excess morbidity from prostate cancer found in a small rural community. Information about the men concerned was gathered by examining the medical records at the local hospital and at the municipal health centres. It was found that the excess morbidity was greatest in the youngest age groups among the older men and that one particular parish and several trades appeared to be more affected by prostate cancer than had been expected.
