abstract: The aim of this research is to find out what the variations in mortality and smoking-related mortality are, and to explore to what extend regional differences in mortality can be attributed to smoking-related mortality in the different COROP-regions of the Netherlands in the period 2004-2008 for sexes. The cause-specific mortality data was provided by Doodsoorzakenstatistiek of Statistics Netherlands. The following methods were used: Smoking-related mortality was calculated; age-standardization was applied for the cause-specific mortality rates; significance in proportional differences was calculated; data implementation into GIS; also, spatial autocorrelation; variance; covariance; and correlation were calculated. When smoking-related mortality was excluded from the indexed variance, the variance was substantially lower. The correlation between smoking-related mortality and non-smoking related mortality for males and females, and males was positively significant. The results indicate that there is still a lot that can be done to reduce smoking-related mortality influencing the all-cause mortality, especially for males.
