Death Rate Report for Kentucky by County, death years through 2005


Breast
Healthy People 2010 Objective Number: 03-03
Reduce the breast cancer death rate.
All Races (includes Hispanic), Female, All Ages
Sorted by Rate

Explanation of Column Headers

Objective - The objective of 22.3 is from the Healthy People 2010 project done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Death Rate (95% Confidence Interval) - The death rate is based upon 100,000 people and is for 5 year(s). Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population (the Healthy People 2010 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal).
Recent Trends - This is an interpretation of the APC.
  • Rising when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is above 0.
  • Stable when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change includes 0.
  • Falling when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is below 0.
    APC (95% Confidence Interval) - The Annual Percent Change is the change in rate over time. These APCs are based upon 5 years and have been calculated by SEER*Stat.

    Other Notes

  • Larger confidence intervals indicate less accuracy of the data. This is often due to low counts that are not quite low enough to be suppressed.
  • Data is currently being suppressed if there are fewer than 16 counts for the time period.

    Trend
    Rising when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is above 0.
    Stable when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change includes 0.
    Falling when 95% confidence interval of annual percent change is below 0.

    2 Recent trend in death rates were calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program and are expressed as the annual percent change over the recent trend period. Recent trend period is the period since last change in trend as determined by Joinpoint.

    Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1–4, 5–9, … , 80–84, 85+). The Healthy People 2010 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.
