“…Stocks [3,8] observed that the mortality rate was higher in large towns than in small ones and that there was a correlation with the density of the population. The existence of an "urban factor" was subsequently supported by the results of many other descriptive studies [9,10]. Goldsmith [11] The results tend to show that British citizens migrating to countries with lower levels of air pollution had lung cancer rates higher than the local white population [16][17][18].…”

“…The only factor involved was urban residence. Mancuso et al (45) showed that the lung cancer death rate was greater than expected in the eight industrialized urban counties of Ohio, and was about one‐third less than expected in the remainder of the state.…”

THE PROBLEMEpidemiologic evidence relating lung cancer to cigarette smoking has come from two types of study-retrospective and prospective. In the retrospective type, smoking habits and other factors in the histories of patients dying with bronchiogenic carcinoma are reviewed. Such studies have shown a number of variables associated with carcinoma of the lung, but the most startling correlation has been with heavy cigarette smoking. Prospective studies involve the continuing observation of healthy subjects to ascertain the cause of death and the association, if any, with various degrees of smoking. Two sizable prospective studies have been made, viz, that of Hill and Doll (1) on 35,000 British physicians, and that of Hammond and Horn (2,3) on 187,983 white men between the ages of 50 and 69. In both studies, the frequency of death from lung cancer among nonsmokers was strikingly lower than among heavy smokers.

The relationship between population density and rates of mortality from unintentional and intentional injuries is examined using mortality data from New York State (exclusive of New York City), 1978-1982. Records for 26,118 individuals with an underlying cause of death due to injury were assigned to population density quintiles based on residence of decedent at time of death. Mortality rates for each population density quintile were examined separately by sex and for 11 causes of injury death. Overall, injury mortality is highest in the most rural and most urban populations. For both sexes, there is an inverse relationship between mortality from motor vehicle incidents and population density, and a positive relationship between homicide and population density. Male mortality from unintentional poisoning deaths shows a positive relationship with population density. Male mortality from fires shows a U-shaped relatinship with population density, with the highest mortality in the most rural and most urban populations. The relationships observed here between injury mortality and population density are most likely due to concomitant variation with aspects of the physical and cultural environments, such as socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and individual risk behaviors.
