Cancer: For 2006-2008, under 75 directly standardised incidence rate for cancer (all
sites) is higher for Hull men (358 per 100,000) compared to England (307 per 100,000),
with Hull women (339 per 100,000) also higher compared to England (301 per 100,000).
For 2006-2008, the under 75 standardised mortality ratio (SMR) for cancer is 1.29 for
Hull (so mortality rate 29% higher than England), which is higher than the Industrial
Hinterlands group and the average of the 10 comparators.
A higher percentage of cancer deaths for men and women are due to lung cancer in Hull
compared to England. For 2006-2008 under 75 SMR from lung cancer for Hull is 1.79
for men and 1.82 for women (so mortality rate 79% and 82% higher for men and women
respectively compared to England), and is one of the highest of the 10 comparator
areas.
Premature cancer mortality is strongly associated with deprivation. The under 75 lung
cancer standardised mortality rate for people living in the most deprived quintile areas of
Hull is 77.4 per 100,0000 persons compared to almost one-third lower (26.2 per 100,000
persons) in the least deprived quintile areas.
Diabetes: For 2009/2010, prevalence of diagnosed diabetes for those aged 17+ years is
lower for Hull (5.2%) compared to England (5.4%) based on general practice registers.
It is also possible that the undiagnosed prevalence of diabetes is higher in Hull
compared to England. For 2006-2008, the all-age diabetes mortality rate in Hull is
higher than England for men, but similar to areas with similar ethnicity rates. For
women, the mortality rate is only slightly higher than England.
A comparison of prevalence, inpatient admissions and mortality indicated that for a
particular prevalence level, there were substantially more hospital admissions (double
the rate) and more deaths in the most deprived quintiles areas compared to the least
deprived quintile areas of Hull.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: For 2009/2010, the prevalence of diagnosed
COPD is higher for Hull (2.1%) compared to England (1.6%) based on general practice
disease registers. It is also possible that the undiagnosed prevalence of COPD is higher
in Hull compared to England. For 2006-2008, the under 75 standardised mortality ratio
is 1.7 for men in Hull (70% higher than England), which is greater than the average of 10
comparator areas deemed similar to Hull and the Industrial Hinterlands group average.
For women in Hull, the premature COPD mortality rate is almost double that of England
at 1.9 and is one of the highest of all comparators (Industrial Hinterlands group and 10
comparators).
Given the prevalence of smoking in Hull, it is not surprising that the premature mortality
rate for COPD is so high, with an estimated 84% of COPD deaths directly attributable to
smoking.
