  ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to provide information on recent trends in cancer mortality in Mexico. We analyzed data provided by the World Health Organization, using joinpoint analysis to detect changes in trends between 1981 and 2007. For most cancers, mortality was upward but started to decline in the late 1980's/early 1990's for both sexes. Overall cancer mortality was 75.53/100 000 men, world standard, and 69.2/100 000 women in 2005-2007. Mortality from uterine cancer declined by approximately 2.5% per year in the 1990s, and by approximately 5% per year in the last decade, but its rates remained exceedingly high (9.7/100 000 in 2005-2007). Other major declines over recent years were those of stomach cancer (approximately 2.5% per year, with rates of 6.6/100 000 in men and 4.9/100 000 in women in 2005-2007) and lung cancer (2-2.5% per year, 11.0/100 000 in men and 4.5/100 000 in women in 2005-2007). Mortality leveled off only since the early 1990s for breast and prostate, and since the late 1990s for colorectal cancer. Death rates from cancer in Mexico remained low on a worldwide scale and showed favorable trends over more recent calendar years. Mortality from (cervix) uterine cancer still represents a major public health priority in this country.

  ABSTRACT: [corrected] A population-based survey was conducted to know the attitudes towards new Italian smoke-free regulations and its impact on tobacco consumption. We considered 3,114 subjects aged 15 or over, representative of the general adult Italian population. Once smoke-free policies were introduced, support for them tended to increase. Smoke-free policies accounted for 8% decrease in cigarette consumption in the short run. Tobacco bans were almost universally accepted, and do not seem to unfavourably affect the business of restaurants or cafes. The results of our study, show the advantages of smoke-free legislations, which may have major public health implications.

Se analizó una muestra de 3 114 individuos mayores de 15 años representativos de la población general adulta italiana. Resultados. Tras la entrada en vigor de las políticas antitabaquismo, el apoyo a ellas aumentó y además contribuyeron con 8% al descenso del consumo de cigarrillos en el corto plazo. Las prohibiciones antitabaco se aceptaron casi de modo unánime y al parecer no afectaron de manera desfavorable a restaurantes y cafeterías. Conclusiones. Los resultados muestran las ventajas de esta nueva legislación, que puede tener importantes implicaciones en la salud pública.
