Pearson co-efficients (r) of correlation between sex ratios of tuberculosis, lung cancer, and all-cause mortality.

1Where N differed by cause (because of zero mortality rates), N is given in brackets with coefficient.
2Asterixes indicate P<0.001 (***), P<0.01 (**), P<0.05 (*). The highest correlation between tuberculosis and lung or all-cause mortality is indicated in italics for each age group.
3Non-parametric analysis using Spearman correlations produced very similar r (Rho) and P values in all cases.
