Note: Recent male Hungarian lung cancer mortality rates have been among the highest in history.
Method: Mortality rates calculated using data from the World Health Organization and the
United Nations Population Division,
then standardised for age (by taking unweighted averages of component rates) and smoothed (as weighted 3-year moving averages). For details, see
the Info page.
Caution: Trends can reflect not only changes in disease occurrence or treatment, but also changes in how a cause of death is
defined or coded. (The same factors can also account for differences in mortality rates between different countries.) Those due to changes in definition or
coding are artefacts, and may be indicated here by dotted (or thin) lines.
But, many artefactual trends have no such indication.
