METHODS: Data on the Australian population were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Every five years a census is held in Australia and detailed information of the population is provided. The ABS also provided yearly data on the causes of death in Australia.
RESULTS: The total population increased from 12,755,638 in 1971 to 25,738,140 in 2021. However, the susceptible population increased by far less, from 12,493,780 to 19,773,783. The number of deaths from NMSC increased from 143 to 765. The crude death rate for the susceptible population increased from 1.1 per 100,000 to 3.9 per 100,000. The crude death rate in the susceptible population aged 65 or more increased from 9.4 to 18.2 per 100,000.
CONCLUSIONS: Deaths from NMSC are increasing despite public health campaigns to prevent skin cancer. According to current trends, NMSC will cause more deaths than melanoma in Australia.
方法:澳大利亚人口数据来自澳大利亚统计局(ABS)。每五年在澳大利亚进行一次人口普查,并提供人口的详细信息。澳大利亚统计局还提供了澳大利亚死亡原因的年度数据。
结果:总人口从1971年的12,755,638增加到2021年的25,738,140。然而,易感人群的增加要少得多,从12,493,780到19,773,783。NMSC的死亡人数从143人增加到765人。易感人群的粗死亡率从每100,000人1.1增加到每100,000人3.9。65岁或以上的易感人群的粗死亡率从9.4增加到18.2/100,000。
结论:尽管开展了预防皮肤癌的公共卫生运动,但NMSC的死亡人数仍在增加。根据目前的趋势,在澳大利亚,NMSC将比黑色素瘤造成更多的死亡。
