    Abstract:
    A time series on the evolution of mortality and the masculinity attribute in vesical cancer in Spain (1960-1990) was prepared. The specific rates by age and sex by 100,000 inhabitants were calculated. To attain standardization the same study population was taken as the reference population. Overall mortality rates due to vesical cancer have increased progressively in a linearly ascending trend, though the slope in men is sharper that in women. The females cohort approaches that of males, but with a difference between them of 30 years. By age groups, the higher increase has occurred in those over 75-year old (113% men, 77% women). The masculinity attribute presents variations depending on the age group and decade considered (1.4-10.9). It is possible to establish three groups by masculinity attribute: 20-44 years (average 1.91), 45-69 years (average 7.8) and over 70 years (average 6.3).
