What age group is most affected by lung cancer?
Lung cancer usually occurs in older people. The average age of people who are diagnosed with lung cancer is 70. 1Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women but fewer men smoke now than in the past, so the death rate from lung cancer for men is decreasing. The death rate from lung cancer for women is leveling off after increasing for several decades.2Black men are more likely to develop lung cancer than men of any other racial group.White women and black women are about equally likely to develop lung cancer.The risk of dying from lung cancer is 20 times higher for women who smoke two or more packs of cigarettes a day than for women who do not smoke.3If you live with a smoker, you have 2 to 3 times the risk for lung cancer compared with a person who lives in a nonsmoking environment.4 About 25% of nonsmokers who develop lung cancer probably get it from being exposed to secondhand smoke.5ReferencesCitationsAmerican Cancer Society (2007).
