Abstract: Mortality statistics for New York City were used to examine lung cancer trends and differentials among Whites in three major religious groups. The percentage of deaths attributed to lung cancer increased among all groups of females and among all categories of males except those under age 45. The relatively low lung cancer levels among Jewish men observed in earlier studies have continued and are consistent with patterns of smoking reported for socio-cultural groups. Mortality from lung cancer among Jewish women was still relatively higher than for other women at some age grops.
