SOME POSSIBLE ULTRAVIOLET EFFECTS ON THE INCIDENCE OF SKIN CANCER AMONG JAPANESE DUE TO MODIFICATION OF THE OZONE LAYER
An epidemiological analysis was conducted in order to examine possible ultraviolet effects on the incidence of skin cancer among Japanese. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AMRs) and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) from 1971 to 1977,ratios of cumulative mortality rates (CMRs) from 1950 to 1960 and...
