Abstract

Incorporating clinical and environmental data holds promise for monitoring vulnerable populations at the community level. This spatial epidemiology study explores the link between traffic-related air pollution and breast cancer mortality in Seoul, using public socioeconomic and clinical data from Samsung Medical Center’s registry (N=6,089). Traffic and socioeconomic status were collected from official sources and integrated for spatial analysis. The findings revealed a significant association between adult breast cancer mortality and districts with high road density, NO2 emissions, and family income (p<0.05). Significant spatial autocorrelation of residuals was observed (Moran’s I test p<0.001).
