CIF, comparative incidence figure,

ratio of age-standardized incidence rate of the region under study in comparison to a reference incidence rate (here the incidence at national level)

Also lung cancer and bladder cancer are discussed as causally related to arsenic exposure, but both sites are not associated with an elevated cancer incidence in the district of Privievdza if compared to the Slovak average.

NMSC incidence in Prievidza district 1997:

90 male and 50 female cases per 100,000 (age-adjusted to the world standard)

-> compare this rate with the NMSC incidence in sun-exposed regions such as Australia
