在过去的几十年里，在大多数白色人群中，皮肤恶性黑色素瘤的发病率比任何其他癌症都要高。我们利用来自全国登记处的信息调查了1994-2003年丹麦社会经济、人口统计学和健康相关指标对恶性黑色素瘤发病率和生存率的影响。这些分析是基于一组出生于1925年至1973年之间、年龄≥ 30岁的322万人中的6914例恶性黑色素瘤患者的数据。男性和女性的年龄和时期标准化发病率分别为25和29/100，000人年。我们发现，在社会经济地位最高的群体中，恶性黑素瘤的风险增加。一般来说，恶性黑色素瘤后的生存率在高社会经济群体中更好，女性比男性更好。我们的研究结果支持早期的报告，恶性黑色素瘤与较高的社会经济地位。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma has increased more than that of any other cancer in most white populations during the past few decades. We investigated the effects of socioeconomic, demographic and health -related indicators on the incidence of and survival from malignant melanoma in 1994-2003 in Denmark using information from nationwide registries. The analyses were based on data on 6914 patients with malignant melanoma in a cohort of 3.22 million persons born between 1925 and 1973 and aged >= 30 years. The age- and period - standardised incidence rate was 25 and 29 per 100,000 person-years for men and women, respectively. We found an increased risk for malignant melanoma in the highest socioeconomic groups. In general, survival after a malignant melanoma was better in high socioeconomic groups and better in women than men. Our results support earlier reports that malignant melanoma is associated with higher socioeconomic position. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
