Abstract
From published demographic data and leukemia mortality data, the leukemia mortality rate per 100,000 population/yr was correlated with altitude. The findings of this study indicate that the leukemia mortality rate increases with increasing altitude up to about 2000 ft elevation, but that above 2000 ft the leukemia mortality rate decreases significantly with increasing altitude.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
