Abstract

To analyze the incidence of lung cancer associated with social, economic, and environmental indicators.
This is an ecological study with 700 new cases of lung cancer, extracted from the IntegradorRHC-INCA database. Average annual incidence rates were calculated, adjusted using the direct method, and subjected to geographically weighted regression analysis. The independent variables were socioeconomic and environmental indicators, including per capita income and primary healthcare coverage.
A positive correlation was observed between incidence and per capita income, as well as with primary healthcare coverage.
The results point to the need for targeted interventions and the strategic allocation of resources in priority areas, as well as the expansion and strengthening of Primary Health Care for early detection, prevention, and guidance on the risks of developing lung cancer.
