    Abstract:
    Stomach cancer mortality in the period 1975-1990 in Belgrade has been analysed. In a sixteen-year period the mean standardised stomach cancer mortality rate was 11.4 per 100,000 inhabitants (males-14.8%000: females-8.6%000). The specific mortality rate by age shows low values before age 34, then it comes to its sudden increase reaching the highest rate in subjects after age 75. Standardised stomach cancer mortality rate by age in the observation period 1975-1990 showed a mild increase in males (y = 14.16 + 0.08x) and an insignificant decrease in females (y = 8.80-0.02x). The percentage of gastric cancer in all causes of death, all malignant tumours and malignant tumours of the digestive tract, shows a decreasing trend.
