| Age | Rates usually increase steadily with age. Most cases are adults in mid-life or older. |
| Gender | Males have a higher incidence than females for most cancer types. |
| Race & SES* | Rates are higher for African
Americans than for Caucasians and other ethnic groups. Rates are generally higher among lower income groups. |
| Occupation | Risk for cancer is greater with some kinds of workplace exposure, such as chemicals, asbestos, and radiation. |
| Diet | Diets that are low in fresh fruits and vegetables have been associated with increased incidence of several cancers. |
| Other | Tobacco use is the single most important risk factor for cancer incidence and mortality. |

The incidence rates for all cancers combined
were similar for males and females in Idaho until approximately age 60-64, after
which rates for males rose dramatically. The highest rates for both males and
females were observed in age groups after age 70, peaking in the age group 70-74
for males and 80-84 for females. Health Districts 1 and 4 had statistically
significantly more cases of cancer than expected based upon rates for the remainder
of Idaho (p<0.01), and Health District 3 had statistically significantly fewer
cases than expected (p<0.01).
