Deaths from All Cancers

This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75) from all Cancers, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages.

Cancers are a major cause of premature deaths. Inequalities exist in cancer rates between the most deprived areas and the most affluent areas.

Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data (where numbers are sufficient) so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates.

A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death.

本数据集展示了75岁以下各类癌症的过早死亡情况，包括按性别划分的数量和比率，以三年滑动平均值为准。癌症是导致过早死亡的主要原因。在贫困地区与富裕地区之间，癌症发病率存在显著差异。

数据中展示了直接年龄标准化比率（DASR），在数据充分的情况下，以便能够直接比较不同地区的死亡比率。DASR的计算方法是将年龄特异性比率应用于标准（欧洲）人口，以消除人口年龄结构差异对粗死亡率可能产生的影响，从而实现比率的直接比较。

以死亡率作为健康状况普遍性指标的局限性在于，死亡率可能无法全面反映某地区健康状况，因为健康状况不佳可能并不会导致过早死亡。
