An analysis of cancer mortality over a 10-year period in Italy is presented. Data are from the Italian part of the Seven Countries Study, an international investigation into the epidemiology of coronary heart disease. The analysis confirms that coronary risk factors provide a useful guide to the prediction of cancer mortality, particularly in association with factors related to age, smoking habits, body weight, and diabetes.
