Aim: In this retrospective observational study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between breast cancer deaths and demographic properties of countries.
Material and Method: The research was conducted on World Health Organization (WHO) 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) mortality list and World Bank Country Reports (WBCR). Total breast cancer-related deaths, age groups and urban population rates of 14 countries between 1996 and 2017 were evaluated.
Results: Both uncontrolled and controlled correlation analysis results showed that population age distribution had a significant correlation with total breast cancer-related deaths (p<0.01). Population percentage at 0-14 ages had a negative correlation with breast cancer-related deaths, whereas other age groups had positive correlations. Correlation between the urban population and total breast cancer-related deaths was insignificant at an uncontrolled level (p>0.05). Generalized Linear Model (GLM) results showed that only the country had a significant effect on total breast cancer related deaths (p<0.05). However, age group effects were insignificant at the multivariate level (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Although reasons such as age and urbanization play an important role among breast cancer risk factors, it is found that they do not affect mortality rates. A total of 22 years of WHO data and 14 country results showed that deaths due to breast cancer are only related to the country. Therefore, countries can minimize deaths due to breast cancer by carrying out more effective struggles, early diagnosis, treatment and awareness activities.
