Stratified by gender and age, Flemish mortality data for the year 2003 show that,<br />

together <strong>with</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>cidence, also the mortality rates <strong>in</strong>creased clearly<br />

<strong>with</strong> age (Figure 7). Although <strong>in</strong> absolute numbers more elderly women died<br />

from colorectal cancer (Figure 8), the age-specific mortality rate was higher <strong>in</strong><br />

men, due to the demographic reality that there are more elderly women left at<br />

those ages.<br />
