Background: Income inequality is a socioeconomic risk factor for many diseases. Stomach cancer is the most common cancer and the prominent cause of death from cancer in Iran. This study aims to investigate the relationship between income inequality and stomach cancer mortality in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using the global burden of diseases data in 2019 and the Gini coefficient index of the provinces of the country reported by the Iranian Statistics Center in 2018. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Findings: The mortality rate of stomach cancer in Iran was 16.17 per 100000 people. Ardabil and West Azarbaijan provinces had the highest mortality rate from stomach cancer, and Hormozgan and Tehran provinces had the lowest. The Gini coefficient of income distribution in Iran was 0.305. Kurdistan and Khuzestan provinces had the lowest, and Golestan and Hamedan provinces had the highest inequality. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the Gini coefficient variable and the incidence of stomach cancer in different provinces was -0.117, which indicates the absence of a significant relationship between these two variables (P = 0.33).
Conclusion: This study shows no relationship between income inequality and stomach cancer mortality in Iran. More research is needed to determine the impact of socioeconomic status on stomach cancer mortality and to identify overlooked factors.
