Abstract
The study is based on the material of acute leukemia in Norway 1957-1981 from the Cancer Registry of Norway. The age-adjusted incidence rates for both sexes were unchanged. For childhood leukemia (0-14 yr at diagnosis) the age-specific incidence rates were constant for both sexes and there was an almost constant incidence for the 5 yr birth cohorts 1950-1969. Among adults there was virtually unchanged age-specific incidence rates for most age-groups between 15 and 74 yr for both sexes. Among those older than 75 yr, an increase is seen, most probably due to better diagnostic procedures. No geographic differences were found in age-specific incidence rates.
