Older age groups are also less likely to die from chronic diseases such as circulatory problems and heart disease. Cancer mortality rates are lower in Australia than they are in all other Anglophone countries
So you get less cancer because you have 'access high quality healthcare' ? how does that work?
wealth disparity there is in various healthcare outcomes.
Wealthy have access to good food. have less stress and engage in mental and physical recreation more and ofcourse regular screenings.
Why would it depend just on one factor like hospital access?
- zwirbl 2y agoCancer mortality is not the same as incidence, you can plausibly have more cancer while still having a lower mortality
- verzali 2y agoPlausibly you can get less cancer by encouraging people to stop smoking, drink less, be less exposured to known carcinogens (either by awareness or regulation). A good healthcare system can also mean you catch cancers early or treat them earlier.
