Abstract:

Data from 1997 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System showed deficits in cancer screening in North Carolina. This study focused on four site-specific cancers and occupational mortality. The results from death certificates highlight the potential for using the worksite to bring health promotion information and disease screening to North Carolina residents.

Abstract:

North Carolina is experiencing major changes in its age structure as life expectancies have increased, birth rates decreased, and population migration occurred. Between 1980 and 2010, the number of North Carolina residents sixty-five and older is expected to dramatically increase. This report examined cause-specific mortality rates for three elderly age groups by race and sex.
