| Age | Lung cancer incidence rates increase with age. |
| Gender | The incidence is currently higher in males than in females, but the gap is narrowing due to increased smoking rates in women. |
| Race & SES* | Generally, incidence is higher among African Americans than other racial groups, and is also higher in lower income groups. |
| Diet | Diets low in consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables contribute to increased risk. |
| Occupation | Occupational or environmental exposures to asbestos, radon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other substances increase the risk. |
| Other | Cigarette smoking, including exposure to second-hand smoke, is the most important risk factor accounting for over 85% of lung cancer deaths. |

Most cases in Idaho during 1995 were diagnosed after age 50. The rates increased greatly after age 50 and peaked at age 70-84 age interval for both males and females. The rates observed in health districts do not differ significantly from the overall statewide incidence rate.
