Abstract
The ASMR for men was 44.9 in 1963 and 28.4 in 1982, while the respective figures for women were 21.7 and 10.8. The time trend for both sexes in 1963–1982 shows a significant decline in the mortality rate, averaging 1.9% in men and 2.8% in women annually. The increase of risk begins after the age of 45–50 and it reaches a maximum of 420 cases per 100000 men and 220 per 100000 women. The calendar time trend in individual age groups of both sexes also shows a steep decline. The annual decrease is similar in all age groups. The cohort analysis is marked by a declining risk of cancer of the stomach. The cohort born about 1940 faces a 70%–90% lower risk than the one born about 1890.
