Abstract EN
The author analyzed the annual trends in the number of deaths from nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) from 1955 to 2008 in Japan on the basis of the data from the Vital Statistics of Japan.
The general trends in the number of deaths from NMSC were downward between 1979 to 1994, but upward after 1995.
The general trends in age-standardized death rates were roughly downward, although the death rates plateaued after 1995.
The recent annual increased ratio of deaths from NMSC was 3.8% (95% confidence interval: 2.7 ∼ 4.9%).
The number and proportion of deaths from NMSC among the elderly were increasing in Japan.
For females, more than 50% of the deaths occurred recently at or after 85 years of age, whereas, for males, this proportion was at or after 75 years of age, nearly reaching at or after 80 years of age.
