Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Lung Cancer

State: California
Measurement Period: 2020-2022
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to lung cancer.

Why is this important?

According to the American Lung Association, more people die from lung cancer annually than any other type of cancer, exceeding the total deaths caused by breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer combined. The greatest risk factor for lung cancer is duration and quantity of smoking. While the mortality rate due to lung cancer among men has reached a plateau, the mortality rate due to lung cancer among women continues to increase. African Americans have the highest risk of developing lung cancer.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the lung cancer death rate to 25.1 deaths per 100,000 population.
