Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the death characteristics of esophageal cancer in Inner Mongolia and the population distribution with various education levels. Methods: The mortality rate of esophageal cancer was calculated using the monitoring point of Death Registry System in Inner Mongolia from 2009 to 2015. The gender, age, region, ethnicity at two education levels of percentage were calculated and the χ2 test was executed. Result: The mortality rate of esophageal cancer was 10.10/105, China Adjustment Mortality was 10.97/105, World Adjustment Mortality was 9.08/105 in Inner Mongolia. The death of esophageal cancer showed statistical significance at two educational levels (P < 0.05). High school and below accounted for 93.9% at the education level, and above high school accounted for 3.5%. In addition, there were significant differences in the percentage of death by gender, age and region at two educational levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Education level has a certain relation with the death of esophageal cancer. To improve the health level, health education plans can be formulated according to esophageal cancer prevention relevant policy with different education levels.
Highlights
It was estimated that one in every 20 cancer deaths worldwide in 2018 was esophageal cancer [1]
Compared with other regions in China, the mortality rate of esophageal cancer in Inner Mongolia was slightly higher than Fuzhou 2011-2019 [16], it was lower than Sichuan province in 2015 [17], and lower than Hebei province 2011-2016 [18]
Our results showed that the mortality rate of males was nearly six times higher than females, which is consistent with a previous study [19]
Summary
It was estimated that one in every 20 cancer deaths worldwide in 2018 was esophageal cancer [1]. Esophageal cancer related death was fourth in China in 2016, the mortality rate was 15.17/105 [4]. It can be seen that esophageal cancer had a higher death rate and worthy of paying attention. There are relatively less studies on the general characteristics of the population in Inner Mongolia, especially the correlation between education level and esophageal cancer. There is a close correlation between educational levels and mortality rates [7]. The results showed that the mortality in the six regions of China is different [8]. Besides educational level the research showed that age, marriage and occupation were closely related to mortality [9].
