Abstract

The relationship between socioeconomic factors and mortality for lung cancer is investigated. To identify the proper lag time between socioeconomic factors and lung cancer mortality, a space–time hierarchical Bayesian model with time-dependent covariates is adopted. A real example on lung cancer mortality, males, in Tuscany (Italy) during the period 1971–1999, is provided. Results confirm the presence of an association between mortality for lung cancer and socioeconomic factors with a temporal lag (latency time) of at least 10 years.
