| 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. |

There were no cases of lung cancer among persons less than
30 years of age. The age-specific incidence rates for males were uniformly higher
than the rates for females after age 45. The incidence rates increased with
age, peaking in the age group 70-74 for both males and females. Health District
1 had statistically significantly more cases than expected based upon rates
for the remainder of Idaho (p<0.01), and Health Districts 6 and 7 had statistically
significantly fewer cases than expected (p<0.01).
