Table 4 Relationship between mortality clusters and societal clusters.

From: Variations in societal characteristics of spatial disease clusters: examples of colon, lung and breast cancer in Japan

Figures show the number of municipalities and the percentage in parenthesis by mortality cluster.

  1. aMortality cluster (MC) of municipalities with high mortality was identified by the spatial scan statistic: Figures 2-4. bSocietal cluster (SC) of municipalities was classified by cluster analysis with two societal indices and population density (see Table 2).
